Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Building RPM with Lua support

["Douglas Pratley" <Douglas.pratley@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Luis

The "problem" was that the settings for the RPM build are not controlled
by switches to the root "./configure" call, but by switches specified in
"./packaging/rpm/SPECS/wireshark.specs.in" (which gets used _by_ the
root "./configure" to build "wireshark.spec", which in turn _contains_ a
second call to "./configure" which controls the RPM build).

This is all a bit unintuitive to a Windows guy, and doesn't seem to be
documented (I'll try to add a note to the Developer's Guide), but I
managed to build an RPM that required Lua to be installed first.

Annoyingly, it still doesn't seem to pick up "init.lua", but I'll do
some debugging before yelling for help again.

Cheers

Doug

It did not found lua, so it was built without it.

you should:
- locate lua.h
assuming it is in /usr/local/include
you should then:
$ ./configure --with-lua=/usr/local --whith-this --with-that
check in the report at the end of configure whether lua was included or
not.

please report success or failure.

If it fails you should send back the output of:
$ find / -name 'lua.h' -or -name 'liblua.a'

+ the config.log  (gzipped please) so I can find out what's wrong with
the configure script.

Thanks,
Luis
