Hi,
It seems that Debian has pkg-config definitions for Lua 5.0, 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 through the dev packages but then again like you pointed out
there is no default Lua so "pkg-config --libs lua" doesn't work either and would require hardcoding the version number which is not cool.
Debian has its "update-alternatives" which seems to apply to the Lua interpreter and compiler but not to anything else.
This, like the one before, is not a suggestion. :) It's just me making observations. But yes, symlinking seems like the most lightweight approach.
I don't think anyone wants this to turn into something like the _javascript_ ecosystem where you need to learn a million tools
and frameworks before being able to become productive and get something done. :D
Regards,
Esa

Hi,
I don't think thats a good solution. It hardcodes the lua version
inside the ./configure script to 5.2 and you will have the same issue
again as soon as you upgrade to 5.3 etc.
I prefer to do a symlink on systems that don't provide a default
liblua.a.
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblua5.3.a /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblua.a
Regards,
Jan
