Hi All,


I have been working on updating lua from 5.3.5 to 5.4.3

I updated the autotoolize.patch and the shared_library-1.patch and found that 5.4.3 no longer has lbitlib.c in the tarball src directory


I removed lbitlib.c from the liblua_la_SOURCES section in the diff for lua-5.3.5/src/Makefile.am

-----------------------------------------------------------
+AM_CFLAGS = -Wall
+
+include_HEADERS = lua.h lualib.h lauxlib.h lua.hpp
+
+nodist_include_HEADERS = luaconf.h
+
+lib_LTLIBRARIES = liblua.la
+liblua_la_LDFLAGS = -release @MAJOR_VERSION@
+liblua_la_SOURCES = \
+    lapi.c lauxlib.c lbaselib.c lbitlib.c lcode.c lcorolib.c lctype.c ldblib.c \
+    ldebug.c ldo.c ldump.c lfunc.c lgc.c linit.c liolib.c llex.c lmathlib.c lmem.c \
+    loadlib.c lobject.c lopcodes.c loslib.c lparser.c lstate.c lstring.c lstrlib.c \
+    ltable.c ltablib.c ltm.c lundump.c lutf8lib.c lvm.c lzio.c \
+    lapi.h lcode.h lctype.h ldebug.h ldo.h lfunc.h lgc.h llex.h llimits.h \
+    lmem.h lobject.h lopcodes.h lparser.h lstate.h lstring.h ltable.h ltm.h \
+    lundump.h lvm.h lzio.h
+

-----------------------------------------------------------

and then lua built without any problems.


So lua built successfully but looking at the files in the tarball src directory for 5.3.5 & 5.4.3 there are some differences

The following files
lua.c
luac.c
lua.h
luaconf.h
lualib.h
lauxlib.h
lprefix.h

are in both 5.3.5 & 5.4.3 but not in the liblua_la_SOURCES section. This may be deliberate, I can't tell.

However lbitlib.c is in 5.3.5 & liblua_la_SOURCES but not in 5.4.3  Is that a problem for IPFire's use of lua?


ljumptab.h and lopnames.h are not in 5.3.5 or liblua_la_SOURCES but are in 5.4.3  Should these now be included somewhere in the Makefile.am or elsewhere or is it OK to ignore them for IPFire?
