I'm sorry for the troubles with fink; properly installed I have found it to be a wonderful "alter ego" of OS X.

http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/
http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/lua51

According to those pages, lua51 should be available straight out of the stable tree.

Hi,

Thanks for advices but I give up...

First of all now ./configure is saying that I don't have other
libraries, that I had several days ago - they disappeared?!

Secondly - fink sucks, it tells me the very different stuff than to you:
$ fink apropos lua
Information about 2088 packages read in 1 seconds.

(the end)

...I changed repositories and nothing changed, I used selfupdate,
update-all etc. and nothing changed. Unix-like stuff on OX S needs a lot
of work and I'm tired of it.

Greetz,
Timo

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:

Hi,

Thanx for help, but it's still nothing...

The script (./configure) is looking for (as far as I managed to find):

if test -d /usr/include/lua50; then
    CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -I/usr/include/lua50"
fi
if test -d /usr/include/lua51; then
    CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -I/usr/include/lua51"
fi

...but there's no /usr/include , there's /usr/local/include . There's no
lua50 or lua51 files, there are only: /usr/local/bin/lua ,
/usr/local/lib/lua , /usr/local/share/lua (the rest is listed below).

I installed lua (make && make install) from sources from lua.org and
everything should be fine.

Fink... I started by Fink, but it didn't have lua:
$ fink list lua
Information about 2088 packages read in 5 seconds.
$

= nothing with "lua" in its name.

...and yes, fink was updated before.

Greetz,
Timo

Can be a bunch of issues. First you should see how the ./ configure of your game is trying to find liblua5 (or similar). Most likely it's not looking under /usr/local, and/or your Lua isn't even installed there
("make install").

You can also use the OS X Fink distro of Lua 5, by "sudo fink install
lua51-dev" (worth at least if you're otherwise using Fink).

Send me your ./configure if you wish 1-on-1 help.

Hi,

I'm trying to install Stratagus game on Mac OS X 10.4 (PPC) and I have
problems with lua...

I followed:

http://www.stratagus.org/install.shtml
http://www.schwedischejungfrauen.de/stratagus-on-mac-os-x/

(Patches suggested by author of second linked page aren't needed on
2.4.2 version. I tried also version used by author + patches, it
doesn't
work either.)

After './configure' I get errors:
(...)
checking lua.h usability... yes
checking lua.h presence... yes
checking for lua.h... yes
checking for library containing lua_getfenv... no
configure: error: Lua5 is required

...and the script stops.

The problem is that I installed Lua from sources, that I got from
lua.org, and it works:
$ lua
Lua 5.1.2  Copyright (C) 1994-2007 Lua.org, PUC-Rio


Lua files:
$ find /usr 2> /dev/null | awk '/lua/{print;}'
/usr/local/bin/lua
/usr/local/bin/luac
/usr/local/include/lua.h
/usr/local/include/lua.hpp
/usr/local/include/luaconf.h
/usr/local/include/lualib.h
/usr/local/lib/liblua.a
/usr/local/lib/lua
/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1
/usr/local/man/man1/lua.1
/usr/local/man/man1/luac.1
/usr/local/share/lua
/usr/local/share/lua/5.1

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/html/XSetDeviceValuators.3.html
/usr/X11R6/man/man3/XSetDeviceValuators.3

Here are similar problems with earlier versions of Stratagus:

I googled for more, but got nothing helpful...

What's wrong? Do you have any ideas?

Thanx in advance,
Timo
