Conky: Unable to compile with BUILD_LUA
Hi
I'm trying to compile the latest build with BUILD_LUA_IMLIB2=ON, but I get 'Unable to find Lua 5.1.x' although it is installed.
dave@crux:~/conky/build$ cmake ../

First check if you have a lua 5.1 interpreter run "lua5.1". Second install liblua5.1-dev

I'm having the same problem. Yes I have Lua 5.1 installed. I'm running out of ideas

Can confirm, same issue.

I've also tried to compile with lua support same error, anyone has a solution?

Which distro are we talking about - Please mention the distribution in use - each has it's own nuance - I am already using conky with lua 5.3 and tolua++ for 5.3 - on Arch Linux.
OP is on Linux crux ...
dive into the conky source folder - you need to find that location for lua5.1 - try and you will get an idea
LDFLAGS="-llua5.1 -lm"
LUA_CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/lua5.1"
cmake \
-D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-D CMAKE_C_FLAGS="${LUA_CFLAGS}" \
-D CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="${LUA_CFLAGS}" \
-D CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS="${LDFLAGS}" \
-D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \

This issue also appears if you want to bind Cairo to Conky, so I'll comment another way to reproduce it here:
If I modify cmake/ConkyPlatformChecks.cmake adding:
# Check for Lua itself
if(WANT_TOLUA)
# If we need tolua++, we must compile against Lua 5.1
# pkg_search_module(LUA REQUIRED lua5.1 lua-5.1)
# if(NOT LUA_VERSION VERSION_LESS 5.2.0)
# message(FATAL_ERROR "Unable to find Lua 5.1.x")
## endif(NOT LUA_VERSION VERSION_LESS 5.2.0)
#else(WANT_TOLUA)
# Otherwise, use the most recent Lua version
#pkg_search_module(LUA REQUIRED lua>=5.3 lua5.3 lua-5.3 lua53 lua5.2 lua-5.2 lua52 lua5.1 lua-5.1 lua51 lua>=5.1)
pkg_search_module(LUA REQUIRED lua5.3 lua-5.3 lua5.2 lua-5.2 lua>=5.1 lua51 lua5.1 lua-5.1)
endif(WANT_TOLUA)
No errors will be displayed except common dev warnings not regarding the modified file. Cmake will configure successfully, and make and make install will work without a problem. Also, Cairo will appear in Conky's bindings (conky -v).
However, using a Conky config file which requires Cairo will result in a segfault - core dumped. I have both Lua 5.1 and 5.3 installed, as well as tolua++. Using Arch Linux, too.

Everyone, please try again. I need to know if it is okay to close this. This might had been fixed already by commit eebc8c65 which contains lot of build fixes. It touched lua files too. Thanks.

I have the same problem (#627).

Don't cmake alone. See if this works.
cmake \
-DBUILD_LUA_CAIRO=ON \
-DBUILD_LUA_IMLIB2=ON \
-DBUILD_LUA_RSVG=ON \
-DBUILD_LUA_CAIRO=ON \
-DBUILD_LUA_CAIRO=ON \
-DBUILD_LUA_IMLIB2=ON \
-DBUILD_LUA_RSVG=ON \
-DBUILD_LUA_CAIRO=ON -DWANT_TOLUA=ON \
../ && make -j4
@lasers
Yes, that works, thank you.

I didn't realize I double-pasted the code above. You effing ran this...
cmake \
-DBUILD_LUA_CAIRO=ON
-DBUILD_LUA_CAIRO=ON \ <-- TWICE
-DBUILD_LUA_CAIRO=ON \ <-- THRICE
-DBUILD_LUA_CAIRO=ON \ <-- FOUR TIMES
-DBUILD_LUA_IMLIB2=ON \
-DBUILD_LUA_IMLIB2=ON \ <-- TWICE
-DBUILD_LUA_RSVG=ON \
-DBUILD_LUA_RSVG=ON \ <-- TWICE
-DWANT_TOLUA=ON \
../ && make -j4
No wonder why it's forcefully working now.
We can close this now after 2 years 3 months because this worked okay on my side, worked okay on your side too, and probably work okay on @su8's side too. Otherwise, I'm still closing this due to inactivity because it has been 1 year 3 months before my first comment here... and still nothing after two weeks.

Clearly I was putting the 'blind' into 'blind cut and paste'.
Bad news though: one does get the error message if one runs unadorned 'cmake', and/but tells the terminal GUI to build lua support. So isn't that still a bug?

@su8 can answer this better than me.

I encountered the error that is at issue in this thread. I did so just now, on Linux Mint 19.1 x64 Cinnamon, using today's version of the git repository, and with these cmake options
-DBUILD_LUA_CAIRO=ON
-DBUILD_LUA_IMLIB2=ON \
-DWANT_TOLUA=ON \
and with the lua5.1 package 5.1.5-8.1build2 and with liblua5.3-dev, which I discover that your 'installation' webpage now says one needs. I have this Linux kernel: 5.1.3-050103-generic.

@LinuxOnTheDesktop What error? I just tried this on LM19. Worked okay. Maybe you're missing build-essential and some -dev packages?

Thanks for the reply and for doing the check.

The error message that I see is as follows.

I couldn't find line Unable to find Lua in the source code. I think you may not be on latest master as bb8723dd361d15be0077ab9270292b96572415e6 removes that line and others 4 months ago.
git rev-parse --short HEAD should return 2bfef11 (last commit).

Thanks, lasers. My mistake. I was indeed running an earlier branch. I can now build Conky (although I sill have problem #821 with the latest master version).
