编译lua5.3.3

1、下载lua最新的库并解压：

https://www.lua.org/download.html

#tar -zxf  lua-5.3.3.tar.gz

2、下载readline库并解压编译，因为lua.c引用了readline库

下载地址：ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/readline/

#tar -zxf readline-6.3.tar.gz

#cd readline-6.3

#./configure --prefix=/home/XX/Desktop/lua-5.3.3/out && make && make install

3、修改lua-5.3.3/src/Makefile下面两行

CFLAGS= -O2 -Wall -Wextra -DLUA_COMPAT_5_2 $(SYSCFLAGS) $(MYCFLAGS) -I/home/XX/Desktop/lua-5.3.3/out/include
LDFLAGS= $(SYSLDFLAGS) $(MYLDFLAGS)  -L/home/XX/Desktop/lua-5.3.3/out/lib

gcc -std=gnu99 -o lua    -L/home/wifi/Desktop/lua-5.3.3/out/lib lua.o liblua.a -lm -Wl,-E -ldl -lreadline 
/home/XX/Desktop/lua-5.3.3/out/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tputs'
/home/XX/Desktop/lua-5.3.3/out/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgoto'

/home/XX/Desktop/lua-5.3.3/out/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgetstr'
/home/XX/Desktop/lua-5.3.3/out/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `BC'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:64: recipe for target 'lua' failed
make[2]: *** [lua] Error 1

报这个错是因为lua 依赖readline，而readline依赖ncurses，但没有指定，就会出现“未定义的符合引用”错误。

解决方案是修改${LUA_DIR}/src/Makefile中linux编译target=linux，在SYSLIBS变量中追加‘-lncurses’选项即可。如下：

linux:
$(MAKE) $(ALL) SYSCFLAGS="-DLUA_USE_LINUX" SYSLIBS="-Wl,-E -ldl -lreadline -lncurses"
