Josh Jensen has already created a very complete "batteries included"
distribution called LuaPlus.
Does it work for Lua 5.3 under Linux?
This seems to be the repository:
https://github.com/jjensen/luaplus51-all
and I don't see mention of Lua 5.2 or higher. Also, there isn't much
description about what LuaPlus actually offers. The code seems to be 50% C
and 50% C++ with a seemingly scary amount of IDE specific files.
Yes, LuaPlus has Lua 5.3 working under Linux. Or, at least, it is
working fine under Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 17.10, the last two versions
I tested against, Ubuntu 17.10 being just last night.
I do not know what you are referring to as a scary amount of IDE
specific files. Would you care to elaborate?
I checked the Github repository and saw this list of files at the top level:
BootstrapJamPlus-linux64
BootstrapJamPlus-macosx64
BootstrapJamPlus.bat
CreateJamLinuxWorkspace.config
CreateJamLinuxWorkspace.sh
CreateJamWindowsWorkspace.config
CreateJamXcodeWorkspace.config
CreateJamXcodeWorkspace.sh
CreateVS2010Workspace.bat
CreateVS2013Workspace.bat
CreateVS2015Workspace.bat
CreateVS2017Workspace.bat
Jamfile.jam
LUAPLUS.jamrules
License.txt
README.md
changelog.txt
There are files there for VS2013, VS2017, XCode and JamLinuxWorkspace (?).
As someone who doesn't use IDEs [1], this to me comes across as "IDE
heavy---non IDE users need not apply".
