D'oh, I should've realised that existed. So, its commands are: build_command = "CPPFLAGS='-I$(LUA_INCDIR)' ./configure --prefix=$(PREFIX) && make lualibdir=$(LIBDIR) LDFLAGS=-avoid-version" install_command = "make install lualibdir=$(LIBDIR) LDFLAGS=-avoid-version" So does that mean that LUA_INCDIR, LUA and PREFIX are all provided by LuaRocks? This looks like what I need for luaposix. I'll try it and report back. > I suggest adding LDFLAGS=-avoid-version to > upstream's Makefile.am, since the Lua module loader doesn't make use > of the versioned symlinks anyway). That's a good idea, thanks. > For the interpreter name, at least, it is available in rockspecs as > $(LUA), expanding to a string such as "lua" or "lua5.1".

I'm not quite sure I understand your question: doesn't what macro detect what automatically? Do you mean, does the macro not detect the version suffix to the interpreter & library names? No, it doesn't. (For example, how would it know which suffix to try, without knowing which version of Lua was desired?) > Sure, let me know if this is sufficient.

Mostly, I think something like this example would be handy in the documentation as a short example of how to deal with autotoolized packages. Later maybe we can standardize how GNU autotoolized packages should be built as rocks, and add an "autotools" build type. I'll be happy to write a short documentation section when I've finished packaging luaposix as a rock. -- http://rrt.sc3d.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA Learn about the latest advances in developing for the BlackBerry® mobile platform with sessions, labs & more.
