The names are rather confusing (especially LIBDIR, LUA_LIBDIR, > LUA_DIR, and LUADIR. Maybe we can clean it up for LuaRocks 3.0 ...? Any suggestions? I guess changing all LUADIR to SHAREDIR would make more sense (on Unix at least), but I can't think of any better changes than that. Then we'd have: LIBDIR = where your rock's lib/lua/5.x files are installed SHAREDIR = where your rock's share/lua/5.x files are installed then for each external dependency Foo: FOO_DIR = base prefix for Foo FOO_LIBDIR = where Foo's lib/ files are installed (location of libfoo.so, e.g., /usr/lib) FOO_INCDIR = where Foo's include/ files are installed (location of foo.h, e.g., /usr/include) FOO_SHAREDIR = where Foo's share/ files are installed (e.g. /usr/share) and similarly LUA_DIR = base prefix for Lua (e.g. /usr/local) LUA_LIBDIR = where Lua's lib/ files (i.e., liblua.so) are installed (e.g. /usr/local/lib) LUA_INCDIR = where Lua's include/ files (i.e., lua.h) are installed (e.g. /usr/local/include) LUA_SHAREDIR = where Lua's share/ files are installed (it actually doesn't have any) At least it would do away with LUA_DIR vs. LUADIR. Obviously we'd have to keep the old ones around for compatibility... -- Hisham ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV. Video for Nerds.
