Building for Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit

[Cean]

Howdy howdy,

The deb package on the homepage apparently doesn't work too well with 8.10, so I'm stuck with having to compile. I don't plan on upgrading to 9.10 because the last time I tried, bad things happened. But I won't go into that now.

"$ ./configure" works fine until it checks for lua:

Code: Select all

checking for library containing lua_pcall... no
configure: error: Can't LÖVE without Lua

"$ lua -v" returns:

Code: Select all

Lua 5.1.3  Copyright (C) 1994-2008 Lua.org, PUC-Rio

How do I make 1 + 1 = 2?

Install the dev packages.

EDIT: In the repo there is a script to download all required packages for you. Here

My guess would be that you need some kind of dev package for Lua.

Thank you. That was a very quick response.

Now bear with me. I'm right-brained.

./configure seems to work fine now. However, "$ make" returns:

Code: Select all

I'm just going to be completely honest and admit that I have no idea what any of that means.

It means rude implemented a feature that I avoided in the original because it wasn't in the version that the ubuntu repo had. (9.10 has the new package)

[Cean]

Ah, I see. Well I suppose love will have to wait until I can manage to get 9.10 working. Thanks again for your help.

That's why I never liked ubuntu or other "versioned" operating systems, especially those that split binaries from headers - rolling release approach is lots better, nothing - like OS version - never stops you from upgrading Anyway - maybe you build your own package from source instead of changing whole OS version?
