Re: Building Lua 5.3 from Lua.org on FreeBSD

[Russell Haley <russ.haley@...>]

For any that care:

Further investigation in the FreeBSD issue tracker provides some very
deep context for the issue in the last post by "Bruce". It's a problem
due to historic implementation differences of POSIX interfaces (and
FreeBSD not keeping up).

Cheers,

Russ
