Hi all, This is a very old-school solution to the problem of constructing rockspecs. It will ask you questions (trying to make intelligent guesses about the defaults) and will generate a rockspec from that session.
It is still young and un-exercised but does simple configurations well. It understands external dependencies and per-platform dependencies, but can get confused if asked to do both of these together ;) In an ideal universe, where there were thousands of people wanting to create rockspecs and a universal cross-platform Lua GUI toolkit, it should be a proper GUI application, but rough-and-ready as it is, it may be already useful. A non-so-interactive mode for the really impatient who need to convert simple scripts/modules is under investigation. http://github.com/stevedonovan/LuaRocksTools/blob/master/rockspecifier/ $ sudo luarocks install http://github.com/stevedonovan/LuaRocksTools/raw/master/rockspecifier/rockspecifier-0.5-1.rockspec (no git needed - pulls the file directly from github downloads) I used the tool to generate its own rockspec - but looking at the commit history you will see a classic newbie mistake - forgetting to manually update the summary fields ;) steve d. _______________________________________________ Luarocks-developers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luaforge.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luarocks-developers
