CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

Hi,

Building the CEGUI dependencies with Lua enabled from a clean slate bombs out. The error is Lua.h not found in project toluapp.

The include path that it expects to find lua.h is only populated once lua itself is built but there is no dependency between the two.

I have a fix for myself which involves adding the lua path to the ToLuaPP compile.

The file cegui-dependencies/src/tolua++-1.0.93/CEGUI-BUILD/CMakeLists.txt at Line 7

A better solution would be to include add_dependencies between lua and toluapp, but my CMake foo isn't yet up to it.

Next to what you mentioned, our change would break compatibility with all other Lua versions as far as i see, therefore i am not sure this is acceptable. What speaks for its general acceptability is, that both Tolua and Lua are in the same dependencies package. However users are free to use whatever dependency they want to use.

Aside from that doesnt the CMAke find file find the Lua include directory anyways? why not use that?

If Lua compiled first in the dependencies followed by ToLuaPP then this wouldn't be a problem.

In reality ToLuaPP tries to compile first and then can't find lua.h as the Lua Include folder is copied during the lua compile.

Currently compiling the dependencies on a fresh system fails. (Mac OSX Mavericks, XCode 5.1.1, CMake 2.8.12.2)

Dave.

If that is the case we can make ToLuaPP depend on Lua in the cegui-dependencies package using "add_dependency" from cmake itself. Could you please confirm that that fixes it and submit a pull request?
