ACK. I've found the config file and adapted the variable LUA_INC. BTW
it has some hard coded OS-X paths (why?).

Now the build is complaining:
  src/lfs.c:42:24: error: compat-5.1.h: No such file or directory

I've unpacked compat-5.1r5. It contains only three files (no INSTALL,
no README):
  compat-5.1.c
  compat-5.1.h
  compat-5.1.lua

Where shall I put them, how shall I use them?

How many packages will I have to treat manually before I can build the
remote debugger? Will it be worth? Or is there a simpler solution to
get a CLI debugger?

Seems that I'v expected some authomatic OS-independent package
mechanism like Chicken Eggs or Ruby Gems, but there isn' yet for LUA,
am I right?
