hi.i get lua related errors(src/lua.c:961:1: error: unknown type name'luaL_reg')

when i am trying to build game.because of lua version mismatch.

i tried --with-embedded-lua  option. no lucky;i get same errors because of 

system header have been included.not embedded(own) header.i think it causes 

that you use double quotes suck like "lua.h" into sources. it is conflict 

system <lua.h>.

i think it will be nice to moving lua 5.2  completely rely on system lua as 

dependency and completely remove --with-embedded-lua bullshit.

when i change double quotes such like from "lua.h" to "../lua/lua.h" game build
successfully. then run successfully.

have you tried
make clean ; ./configure --with-embedded-lua ; make 
?

yes i tried.i can build game --with-embedded-lua option only if only i changed 

include directives into source files such like from "lua.h" to "../lua/lua.h".

i think your approach is incorrect that just double quoted include directive as

#include "lua.h"

i think a better approach is using relative addressing as 

#include "../lua/lua.h" 

and use gcc's -I.    (search for include in current directory ) option.

Or create and set few options like --lua-include-dir ,  --lua-library.

i think having own lua is ugly work around. 

i will try to make a lua 5.2 patch.and i will send it when/if achieve.

First, fetch the last version.

Second, "we" can build without any issue.

Before to try to fix the source, send us your config.log, so that we
can find what is working bad on your computer.

Third, we are no more compatible with lua 5.1. But we want to still be
able to build on old systems that do not have a lua 5.2 package.

Fourth, stop using insulting words if you want us to reply...

We are now using lua 5.3, making this ticket being invalid.
