lua.c: In function 'pop_results':
lua.c:1500: warning: implicit declaration of function 'lua_rawlen'

Among other errors (full log attached).

This is using the same build configuration as 0.15.1.

Mhhh... Something is wrong in the way we detect the lua version available on
your system.
You have Lua5.1, we need Lua5.2.
The configure script should have find that you do not have the right version,
and automatically use the embedded lua sources instead of using the system-wide
version.

What is the output of 'pkg-config --modversion lua' ?

Until we find a fix, you can force the use of the embedded version with
'./configure --with-embedded-lua'

Thx for testing.

Ah. I was updating the OpenBSD package, which specifies LUA_CFLAGS and LUA_LIBS
manually, which is why the checks didn't trigger.

Using Lua 5.2 fixes the problem.

Some other changes of note... GNU Make is now required and wasn't before
(${shell foo}, export, and define are not portable Make).

Do the localization scripts really need GNU awk specifically? Can they get by
with One True awk?

Well, only one script actually needs gawk. I will try to rewrite it to be
standard awk compatible.

2 gawk specific features are used: multi-dimensional arrays and sort() function.

The use of multi-dimensional arrays can be avoided.
However, I do not really want to code a sort in awk.

That script is actually only needed during dev (it re-generates the POTFILES.in
files), not when building from the tarball.

So, I will rather remove the call to that script when building from a tarball.


As for the need for gmake. Well, I hope that it's not an issue on OpenBSD. I
definitely would not like to rewrite those Makefiles... Too much work.

@anjbe - the Freedroid BSD port uses gmake.
gmake is also a requirement for MacOSX users with MacPorts.

Well, before to change several things, I really need to know how annoying it is
to depend on gawk on OpenBSD... Can you please tell me ?

No reply since 2 months. So, I reject-close the ticket.
Please reopen it if depending on gawk is really annoying on OpenBSD.
