building elua.

[james osburn]

I have been trying to build the elua sources from github on linux.
I am assuming that the starting point is the lua script build_elua.lua?
when I run the script i get the following error:

[josburn@localhost elua]$ lua ./build_elua.lua
lua: ./utils/mkfs.lua:3: module 'pack' not found:
        no field package.preload['pack']
        no file './pack.lua'
        no file '/usr/share/lua/5.1/pack.lua'
        no file '/usr/share/lua/5.1/pack/init.lua'
        no file '/usr/lib/lua/5.1/pack.lua'
        no file '/usr/lib/lua/5.1/pack/init.lua'
        no file './pack.so'
        no file '/usr/lib/lua/5.1/pack.so'
        no file '/usr/lib/lua/5.1/loadall.so'
stack traceback:
        [C]: in function 'require'
        ./utils/mkfs.lua:3: in main chunk
        [C]: in function 'require'
        ./build_elua.lua:22: in main chunk
        [C]: ?

My best guess is I am missing a package?
Which one?
James

There are actually two build systems.  One is newer and still
considered experimental but works and is based on Lua which is the one
you've found. The other is built around scons, and is described in our
docs here:
http://www.eluaproject.net/doc/master/en_building.html

To quote from an earlier email from Bogdan, in order to use the
Lua-based build system you'll need a few extra dependencies first
which can be installed using luarocks, which you'll also need to
install:
   a. install luarocks (http://luarocks.org/)
   b. sudo luarocks install lpack
   c. sudo luarocks install luafilesystem
   d. sudo luarocks install md5

Otherwise you should be able to just use SCons if you have Python and
SCons installed, and a toolchain for your platform.

Best.

who would you set up the paths using the mentor graphics toolchain?

Just put the toolchain's bin/ directory in your PATH.
