Re: [Bug-zile] Google Summer of Code 2014

[Garnaik Sumeet]

Hello Sir,

           Installing luarocks using 'apt-get' installs lua5.1 as a prerequisite....and I thought of removing liblua-5.1 and installing 5.2,but I guess that won't be possible since a lot of programs like brasero,vlc and all depend on it.....so I installed luarocks from the tar...and it worked just fine with dependency as lua5.2.

Now as you said,I removed commands.lua used 'make V=1' and the following was the output.....

LUA_INIT= LUA_INIT_5_2=            \
      LUA_PATH='/home/sumefsp/COMPUTING/OPEN-SOURCE/zile/lib/?.lua;/home/sumefsp/COMPUTING/OPEN-SOURCE/zile/lib/?.lua;;'            \
      /usr/local/bin/lua ./lib/zmacs/zlc ./lib/zmacs/zlisp/bind.zl ./lib/zmacs/zlisp/buffer.zl ./lib/zmacs/zlisp/edit.zl ./lib/zmacs/zlisp/file.zl ./lib/zmacs/zlisp/killring.zl ./lib/zmacs/zlisp/help.zl ./lib/zmacs/zlisp/line.zl ./lib/zmacs/zlisp/lisp.zl ./lib/zmacs/zlisp/macro.zl ./lib/zmacs/zlisp/marker.zl ./lib/zmacs/zlisp/minibuf.zl ./lib/zmacs/zlisp/move.zl ./lib/zmacs/zlisp/registers.zl ./lib/zmacs/zlisp/search.zl ./lib/zmacs/zlisp/undo.zl ./lib/zmacs/zlisp/variables.zl ./lib/zmacs/zlisp/window.zl  > 'lib/zmacs/commands.lua' || rm -f 'lib/zmacs/commands.lua'
test -f 'lib/zmacs/commands.lua'
if ( touch doc/zmacs.1.w && rm -f doc/zmacs.1.w; ) >/dev/null 2>&1; \
    then                            \
      builddir='.'                \
      ./build-aux/missing --run            \
        /usr/bin/help2man                        \
          '--output=doc/zmacs.1'                    \
          '--no-info'                    \
          '--name=Zmacs'                    \
          --include './lib/zmacs/man-extras'    \
          './lib/zmacs/help2man-wrapper';        \
    fi
help2man: can't get `--help' info from ./lib/zmacs/help2man-wrapper
Try `--no-discard-stderr' if option outputs to stderr

Thank you,

First thing to check is where luarocks installed lua-stdlib's io.lua file, and
determine why that location is missing from the 'no file' list above.

Upgrading to Lua 5.2, and making sure luarocks is installing to a Lua 5.2 tree
is important too.

If it's not already clear what needs fixing at this point, then removing
lib/zmacs/commands.lua and recompiling with `make V=1` will show the full zlc
command that causes that error.

HTH,
