Re: [Bug-zile] Zee anastasis in progress!

[Reuben Thomas]

I have a rockspec for Zee which builds and installs it. Unfortunately,
it doesn't run, because LuaRocks configures its packages to install in
a temporary directory, and then itself moves the files elsewhere. This
means that the paths hardwired into Zee are wrong when it runs.

I think it's not too much of a problem to simply configure with the
correct deployment paths (LuaRocks won't mind when it doesn't find any
files to move), but unfortunately this looks like needing a patch to
LuaRocks, as it doesn't currently make the deployment paths available
in rockspecs, AFAICS.

Sigh.

At least once this is sorted out, writing rockspecs to drive autotools
build systems should be a pretty much solved problem…
