Hey all! First time using Gitter and my first time posting here...
I seem to remember a way to make a self-contained Lua environment, plus all required rocks, in a development directory. That way, testing and debugging is happening in an isolated environment.
I saw hererocks, but I don't think that's what I used. I thought it was some magic trick that I could perform using luarocks. Did I imagine that or is that a feature that I'm failing to find documentation for?

rockspec for this, or just have a file listing the rocks they need
rockspec appropriate for this use?
luarocks install mobdebug --local however upon inspection it appears any rock I install is for lua5.1 and not what I wish to use lua 5.4 after some diging on the wiki for luarocks there appears to be an option --lua-version=5.4 to spesify which version to use as i can verify lua 5.4.2 is installed on my system but none of the installed rocks exist, instead they appear to install to $HOME/.luarocks/share/lua/5.1 my question is how can I force the use of 5.4, do I need to download the tarball for the latest luarocks and sudo make config install that? I would prefer not to do anything that the apt package manager in debian cannot track
sudo apt install liblua5.4-dev lua5.4 gives it to me at /usr/include/lua4.5/lua.h, though the old 2.4.2 version of luarocks seemed problematic still in installing the correct rock versions, so I uninstalled that and did a manual install of luarocks 3.5.0 which the ./config script seemed to agree with, it found the lua.h along with the binary and other dependancies. I did the system wide sudo make install but now when I attempt a luarocks --lua-version=5.4 --local install mobdebug I get Error: Failed finding Lua header files. You may need to install them or configure LUA_INCDIR. so it looks like my next step is configuring luarocks, not sure why its not finding the headers when the configure srcipt had no problems
@hishamhm in here and he can re-parent it for you.
luarocks install http fails because it can't find openssl/crypto.h. I'm on macOS, and I installed openssl and luarocks via Homebrew. I know I can specify the location of the .h files via an env variable, but this is the second time I have to do this manually and thought there might be a way to specify the search paths once and for all. I noticed luarocks config options: external_deps_dirs, external_deps_patterns, external_deps_subdirs, runtime_external_deps_patterns, etc. but I don't know what values to set to match Homebrew's installation tree (e.g. /usr/local/Cellar/openssl@1.1/1.1.1i/include/openssl/crypto.h). I find it tricky due to the version-numbers in the paths… Is there a tried and tested way to configure luarocks and/or homebrew so that they luarocks can automatically resolve the dependencies?
Quick question... I
luarocks packed my module, run luarocks-admin make-manifest and uploaded the files to a web server.I set this server in the
config-5.1.lua file and luarocks search can find it.when I try to
luarocks install I get the error: Error: Couldn't extract archive which by the solved issues mean that my source.url in the rockspec isn't pointing to the right place.The question is, why is it going to the source in the first place and not using the
*.src.rock file in the "repo" that was created?Thanks!
devurandom/lualdap rock that is currently in the root manifest as lualdap (https://luarocks.org/modules/devurandom/lualdap). Could you please change the owner of that rock to @fperrad (https://luarocks.org/modules/fperrad)?
lualdap entry in the root manifest. Is that correct? Would you be able to assist us (@fperrad and me) with a transfer? See my post from 2021-02-03 just a few lines above: https://gitter.im/luarocks/luarocks?at=601a882a9238c531ad1fa81c

hello, guys. I use lua project with cpp library and build it with cmake
cmake installation goes well
Scanning dependencies of target xxx
[ 33%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/xxx.dir/src/xxx.cc.o
[ 66%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/xxx.dir/src/xxx.cc.o
[100%] Linking CXX shared library xxx.so
[100%] Built target xxxand then I get error make: *** No rule to make target 'install'. Stop.
generated Makefile in fact does not contain target install
how is it possible?
relevant rockspec
build = {
type= "cmake",
install = {
lib = {
"./build.luarocks/xxx.so",
["xxx"]="./xxx/xxx",
["xxx"]="./xxx/xxx",
["xxx"]="./xxx/xxx",

}
}
}furthermore, I build my project in docker container, and when I run this same code with same docker image in CI target install is found normally.
LuaRocks version 3.0.3
Hello,
Since the last time I still haven't managed to build my application with LuaRocks.
If someone would be available to give me a little tutorial, I'm interested. I explain my problem:
I used LuaRocks to install a module, now I would like to create an executable for my software, but I can't generate it with my LuaRocks module.
I have looked everywhere, I can't find any guide, no tutorial, nothing that can explain step by step how to do it.
