Note

On pure 64 bits add CPPFLAGS="-fPIC" if you plain to build VLC against LUA. This will avoid the following error : relocation R_X86_64_32 against `luaO_nilobject_' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

Non-Multilib

Compile the package:

make linux

make INSTALL_TOP=/usr install &&
mkdir -pv /usr/share/lua/5.1 &&
mkdir -pv /usr/lib/lua/5.1 &&
sed -i 's@/usr/local@/usr@g' etc/lua.pc &&
cp etc/lua.pc /usr/lib/pkgconfig &&
cp etc/lua.ico /usr/share/icons

Multilib

32Bit

Compile the package:

make CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" linux
