Ok, seems I jumped the gun there. Example 21 from latest svn seems to be creating some problems. Here is the result of test_diff.sh =============================================================== lua Missing examples : Differing postscript output : 21 Missing stdout : Differing stdout : WARNING: Some PostScript or stdout results were different =============================================================== If instead I use math.fmod instead of % to replace all occurrences of math.mod in the lua examples shipped with the 5.9.9 tarball, then I get the expected results from test_diff.sh:- =============================================================== lua Missing examples : Differing postscript output : Missing stdout : Differing stdout : =============================================================== Hope that helps. > To complete this work I plan to update our build system to incorporate > all the changes you have shown are required to get lua 5.2 to work, > (with the added feature that I will use the lua -v command to > determine which version of lua is installed so we don't have to keep > maintaining version number lists).
