Re: [liblua] Enable Position Independent Code by default.

Thank you. On -fPIC, is it a similar reason? While building a shared library is not directly a goal, the ability to link to a shared library is necessary.

I was wondering if there was a reason this wasn’t default, along with why only the executable(s) and the static lua was built by default? It seems like a limitation, as it prevents using lua in shared libraries, only in static libraries, or top level executables.
