To build Lua in a common Unix-like platform, just do
make
The Makefile will guess your platform using uname and build Lua for it.
We welcome feedback on this, which is new, especially more uname targets
with explicit rules and fixes for existing ones.
We also welcome feedback on the listings output by luac -l -l, because
luac has been rewritten to account for the new VM instructions.
All feedback welcome. Thanks.
