Re: problems with lua while installing Stratagus on Mac OS X

[Asko Kauppi <askok@...>]

1. From Lua's standpoint, everything most likely is fine (although  
you should use "make macosx && make install" and maybe edit the  
Makefile to enable readline support, which is built in in 10.4 - Lua  
makefile still defaults to 10.3)

2. The game is looking in /usr/ which you MUST NOT mess with  
yourself. That's owned by Apple and good that way. So you need to  
change the game's configuration. First see "./configure --help"; the  
game makers may have given useful parameters so you wouldn't need to  
stab their makefiles directly.

3. All you really need, is "-I /usr/local/include -L /usr/local/lib - 
l lua" to be added to the CPPFLAGS parameter. Somewhere, even in the  
Makefiles. Just stab it there, or use "export CFLAGS="-I /usr/local/ 
include -L /usr/local/lib -l lua"" to make gcc see them without  
changes in the makefile (I'm teaching you naughty, but... ;)

4. Lua51 is a fink package, like everything in Fink you need to  
install it. See:

$ fink apropos lua
