Re: Nmap Script Engine on OpenWrt

[Daniel Miller <bonsaiviking () gmail com>]

Bruno,

NSE doesn't make sense outside the context of Nmap, and many of the
libraries it uses are compiled in to nmap itself. However, there shouldn't
be any reason that it wouldn't compile on OpenWrt. Can you change the
package's makefile so that it doesn't use --without-liblua in configure and
then report what actually happens? What are the specific errors that happen?
