Re: Error with LuaJIT when compiling 2.9.7.x on OS X with OpenAppID

[Wil Mail <willstmail () gmail com>]

Hi,
Well, this is fun.  I started picking apart the configure script again to
figure out which pkg-config commands it was running.  I then realized I
didn't have pkg-config installed at all, which was actually evidenced in
the script output.  Just before the "checking for luajit... no" line, it
also said "checking for pkg-config... no".  Further, grepping for
PKG_CONFIG variables in config.log shows that PKG_CONFIG and
PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR were empty.  I installed pkg-config via brew, reran my
configure script with options, and voila.  It configures and compiles just
fine!

To further validate, I uninstalled pkg-config, reran configure, and it
failed as expected.

Moral of the story - pkg-config is required for the configure script on OS
X, at least when enabling OpenAppID.

Thanks for the prompting to check on pkg-config.


For future reference, this was what my reply was GOING to be before I did
that one last configure after installing pkg-config:

"""
I believe this means that pkgconfig can find LuaJIT:

$ pkg-config --libs luajit
-L/usr/local/lib -lluajit-5.1

And

$ pkg-config --list-all | grep -i lua
lua5.2               Lua - An Extensible Extension Language
lua-5.2              Lua - An Extensible Extension Language
luajit               LuaJIT - Just-in-time compiler for Lua
lua                  Lua - An Extensible Extension Language


If I'm pulling the right lines from configure script, I think this also
means yes it can find LuaJIT:

$ pkg-config --print-errors --cflags --libs luajit
-I/usr/local/include/luajit-2.0 -L/usr/local/lib -lluajit-5.1
"""
