To build this package, you will need the autoconf/automake tools. BUILDING FROM SVN SOURCES -------------------------- aclocal && autoheader && automake -a && autoconf BUILDING HASERL (without lua) ----------------------------- ./configure make make install You might need to be root to do the 'make install'. BUILDING WITH EMBEDDED LUA VM ----------------------------- If lua 5.1.x dev libraries are already installed, then ./configure --with-lua make make install If lua 5.2.x dev libraries are already installed, then ./configure --with-lua=lua5.2 make make install If you don't have the lua dev libraries, or you have a different version then: tar zxvf lua-5.x.x.tar.gz cd lua-5.x.x make generic | make posix | make linux | ... mkdir /tmp/lua cp src/* /tmp/lua cd ./configure --with-lua=/tmp/lua --with-lua-headers=/tmp/lua make
