Can't build stepmania: liblua is required to build

Davigetto · 2010-02-07 17:52:25

Hello,

I've been trying to install Stepmania from the AUR, but in the building process, I receive this error:

*** liblua is required to build StepMania; please make sure that
*** it is installed to continue the installation process.

What can I do to be able to compile it?

Greetings

Reading the comments for the AUR PKGBUILD is a good habit

If you indeed have lua installed:

Build fails to find lua with the new LDFLAGS. I'm not sure if it's a lua problem and will be fixed there but in the meantime
export LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS//-Wl,--as-needed}"
can be added to the PKGBUILD to make it build.

I'm sorry for not reading it previously , I'll take into account for the next time.

I could begin the compiling process, however the compiling fails at some point. First, it fail in a point which I could solve using the tip of the last comment from the AUR package (I'm using a 64bits system):

did not compile on 64 bit without this simple patch from gentoo: http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=196884 (from: http://bugs.gentoo.org/276717 )

However now I receive another compiling error:

Any ideas?

Yeah, that's because of the new libpng. So you need one more patch.

Here's a quick patch I made:

http://shelli.fi/~bane/stepmania-3.9-libpng14.patch

At least I was able to compile it successfully with that patch.

Now, It worked fine (it compiled well and executes fine, not as good as in windows for now in my pc...)

I wonder why there is not a good PKGBUILD in AUR (a newbie may not be able to compile it). Is modifying the PKGBUILD exclusive responsability of the mantainer or is there something I can do, for example?

Greetings and thanks Belni!
