Hello to the list,
I try to cross compile lua and got a problem. Let me explain what
I have done:
I want to use lua together with luasocket on an embedded PowerPc
(a PPC405). There is Linux (2.4.18) running with busybox and uClibc.
To make testing easier, I have a similar environment on an Intel
system with a cross gcc for uClibc. After crafting (and testing) some
lua scripts with the use of luasocket, I changed the lua makefile in
putting a $(CROSS) before all tools. I also change the number
representation to long, because the PPC405 has no FPU. Then I build a
new lua propper for i386 and uClibc. I tested it with the examples
(life, sieve ..) and it works. Now I changed the luasocket makefile
in the same way. Everything compiles ok. But when I try to start my
application, I got the following message
ulli@asterix:/home/luatest > ./lua testapp.lua
./lua: symbol 'luaL_checknumber': can't resolve symbol '@M'
.
. a lot more messages like this follow
.
./lua: symbol 'lua_settop': can't resolve symbol '@M'
./lua: compat-5.1.lua:68: Unable to resolve symbol
stack traceback:

sipsrv.lua:237: in main chunk

Can anybody give me a hint what the problem might be
Thanks Ulrich Dziergwa
Not really sure what the @M is a result of but in any case
you won't get luasocket to work like this with an integer number
type without work.
It assumes that the lua number type is double and uses
it to represent timeouts in seconds so 1ms becomes 0.001.
With an integer type all timeouts < 1s become 0 and lots of things
don't work.
It looks like a reasonably easy job to fix this and I was about to
start on
the project next week but if you get a headstart and publish your
results then I wouldn't be too upset ;-).

Hi,
sorry for my late answer, but i don't see my messages and the answer
on the list, just found it in the archiv.
Thank for the hint with number and integer, but this might be a second
Problem.
To rule out problems with the my buildsystem, i installed the newest
buildroot-system for i386 from the uClibc site (this is a native
uClibc system with compiler and binutils). After chroot in this
system, i can build lua 5.1w6 out of the box (i don't have changed the
number format) and run all tests. Luasocket can be build too. But both
tother give the following error:
/usr/local/bin/lua: error loading package 'socket' (Unable to resolve
symbol)
stack traceback:
[C]: ?
[C]: in function 'require'
./testapp.lua:239: in main chunk
[C]: ?
for me it looks like a problem with the lua require and the uClibc
dynamic loader. As a quick fix, is there a possibility to link
luasocket with lua like the base or string library?
This is almost certainly the case. Luasocket was a little difficult to
get to link
statically because it imports the lua and C functions into the same
namespace
"socket" and the new require uses the presence of the global "socket" to
signal
that the module is loaded. This means that loading the C part of
luasocket first
blocks the loading of the lua part. I patched luasocket with the
attached patch
which loads the C code into the "lsocket" namespace and then when the lua
code is "required" a socket.x is created for each lsocket.x ( and the
same for mime. )
Once the patch is applied you can add your modules to the list in lua.c
by defining
LUA_EXTRALIBS to something like
{"lsocket", luaopen_lsocket},
{"lmime", luaopen_lmime},
and then linking your statically compiled lua socket library to the lua
library.
