Compiling Lua 5.1

[Robert Hibberdine <bob.hibberdine@...>]

Hi all,

I have been using Lua 5.0 successfully for a few weeks now. I compiled 
5.0 so that lua used the shared libraries liblua.so and liblualib.so. 
There was support in the make file to do this easily.

I have compiled and run lua 5.1 successfully but only as a staticly 
linked  program. The 5.1 makefile does not seem to allow the making of 
.so's. (I must confess at this point that I only look at makefiles when 
I have to and therefore could have missed something)

I am assuming that there is no problem in building lua5.1 in 3 parts 
(lua, liblua.so and liblualib.so) and can just make my own makefile...?
