G'day John,

[This message is being cross-posted to the lua-l list, since it
partially begs for more resources for IM/CD/IUP maintenance;
Antonio Scuri is a very valuable, but very scarce resource, and
more resources are needed. My apologies if this cross-posting
is improper, and would ask that replies be targeted and focussed
to the proper list or lists, as appropriate.]

The last release of IUP was 3.30, on 2020-08-02. Scratching through
the Subversion releases, this looks to be r5892.
Looking at the SourceForge IUP Code tab, the latest revision of the
trunk is r5942, made on 2022-03-03.
I believe that a majority, but certainly not all, of the 50
changesets made since the 3.30 release are bug fixes.
*** Opinion: IM/CD/IUP releases, especially bugfix ones, are not
given the priority they deserve. The last IUP release
was made after a significant number of new features were
added to the package.
I strongly believe that:
- IM 3.15, 2020-07-31 =~ r816, currently r820;
- CD 5.14, 2020-07-31 =~ r894, currently r900; and
- IUP 3.30, 2020-08-02 =~ r5892, currently r5942;
have long-standing bugfixes to the modules, that deserve
to be wrapped up into a new set of releases.

My SourceForge project
[lglicua-alpha6](<https://sourceforge.net/projects/lglicua/files/)
was written explicitly because of my frustration at the
release/repository gap; it uses the repository by default.
Although I've never tested Ubuntu 22.04 before (-alpha6 was released
in 2022/02/xx), I have run up a virtual machine, and can confirm
that lglicua-alpha6 Works Like A Bought One.

To address John's initial IUP query directly:
[PREAMBLE: You might like to do all of the following in a virtual
machine, as a number of items are system-installed, instead of
being project-local.]
1. I recommend updating your system's packages, if possible:
- $ sudo apt-get update
- $ sudo apt-get upgrade
2. Create some PROJECT directory, and unpack the latest lglicua
release tarball <https://sourceforge.net/projects/lglicua/files/lglicua-0.1-alpha6.tar.gz/download>
into that directory.
3. PROJECT/install$ is for installing Lua, LuaRocks, selected Rocks
and IM/CD/IUP sources [with FTGL and pdflib7 being
pseudo-projects split out of the CD project.]:
PROJECT$ cd install
PROJECT/install$ ./i # get a one-page help summary
PROJECT/install$ ./i lua-install 5.4
PROJECT/install$ ./i reboot-now
(After rebooting, which sets up the LuaRocks paths:)
$ cd PROJECT/install
$PROJECT/install$ ./i imcdiup-osdepend-install
$PROJECT/install$ ./i imcdiup-svn-fetch
4. Build from Subversion sources, into a "../1/" play workspace:
PROJECT/install$ cd ../build
PROJECT/build$ ./q # get a one-page help summary
PROJECT/build$ ./q nuke,unpack,build,gather fer-real
5. Trivial (two-line) "hello, world", indented here for clarity:
PROJECT/build$ cd ../1/play
PROJECT/1/play$ cat hello-world
#!/bin/bash ../support/play-lua-tec
iup=require("iuplua"); iup.Message("MyApp", "hello, world")
PROJECT/1/play$ ./hello-world
6. Try bringing in your application into the "play" area, and
see if there are any changes. Reports on both regressions
and improvements would be welcomed.
*** Beware: The "../1" workspace, including many files, is a
temporary area only; each time that you find something of
value, I strongly urge you to copy it to a safe place
outside of the PROJECT tree. There is a simple-minded
command, "./q iup:patch fer-real", which means that you
could create a patch (svn diff) and optionally apply it
as during testing; similarly, you could write a simple
script to populate "../1/play/" with project files, after
each "./q nuke,unpack,patch,build,gather fer-real".
7. You can use "PROJECT/build$ ./q svn-update fer-real" to track
changes to any of the IM/CD/IUP repsitories.
