Hi Craig,

I'm trying to install lua-hubbub on a Debian system and there seems to be an endless number of missing dependencies. Any suggestions on installing libhubbub on Debian?

Thanks

That binding is still incomplete at the moment but I will
get around to finishing it next week or so. I've been mindful
of 5.2 support, so it should be trivial to port. Both the
Hubbub internals and the API/binding use C99, so MSVC
is not supported, if that matters.
