Re: Lua on Maemo (Nokia N810 and friends)

["Fabio Mascarenhas" <mascarenhas@...>]

Hi,

I thought lua-gtk used libffi? I have an Alien (http://alien.luaforge.net) build running fine on an ARM target (a Linksys NSLU2, running Debian ARM), so if lua-gtk is using libffi it is just a matter of updating (or tweaking a Makefile).

I have to download a Maemo VM and play sometimes to see if I can compile the whole Kepler stack (+Alien) in the latest Maemo, anyone know a good one (preferably that works with VirtualBox, as VMPlayer is broken on Ubuntu 8.04)?

Sounds nice, but someone with an arm device should study the calling
conventions on that architecture and provide a fix (as it is already
done for amd64) for lua-gtk. Actually the library is unable to use ffi
properly on arm (tested on Debian arm and armel build hosts).
