Two ways of installing lua and luarocks on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

luarocks --local make passes on Linux but fails on macOS and Windows.

  • TODO: macOS: ld: unknown options: -shared ; make: *** [python.dylib] Error 1
  • TODO: macOS: ld: library 'dl' not found
  • TODO: macOS: ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64
  • TODO: Windows: Makefile.luarocks(2) : fatal error U1034: syntax error : separator missing

macOS

$(LD) -shared -o $@ $^ $(LDFLAGS)

Windows

  • Using the wrong make?
