This variable is set by default to be name of the interpreter, but it is meant to be a $(LUA) variable accessible to rockspecs in the same way that $(CC) is. Setting LUA with a full path in a configuration file shouldn't break things. LuaRocks uses LUA_INTERPRETER internally -- set in site_config.lua -- when it wants only the interpreter name (for example, see luarocks/fs/unix.lua). -- Hisham ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
