Vagrant (development environment) with recent Lua and Luarocks version (1 Viewer)

[scls]

Hello,

I'm looking for a Vagrant environment for Lua and LuaRocks

I noticed on Github

GitHub - gsdenys/lua-vagrant: Vagrant for lua dev environment

Vagrant for lua dev environment. Contribute to gsdenys/lua-vagrant development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

This use the luajit-rocks that provides LuaJIT and Luarocks in just one location.

luarocks 2.0.8
LuaRocks main command-line interface

The first project is about LuaJIT... not Lua and both seems quite outdated...

I wonder if some of you know if a Vagrant development environment exists for recent Lua version (5.4.2) and LuaRocks (3.7.0) (at the time of writing).

Kind regards

For those who might an interest for such a Vagrant env... here is my Vagrantfile which should install Lua 5.4.3 and LuaRocks 3.7.0 in an Ubuntu Impish Indri VM.

# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
    # lua_version_major_minor = "5.4"
    lua_version = "5.4.3"
    luarocks_version = "3.7.0"
    hostname = "lua.box"
    locale = "en_GB.UTF.8"
    # Box
    config.vm.box = "ubuntu/impish64"
    # Shared folders
    config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/srv"
    # Setup
    config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "touch .hushlogin"
    config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "hostnamectl set-hostname #{hostname} && locale-gen #{locale}"
    config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "apt-get update --fix-missing"
    config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "apt-get install -q -y build-essential libreadline-dev unzip g++ make git curl vim"
    # Lang
    ## Lua
    #config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "apt-get install -q -y lua#{lua_version_major_minor}"
    config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "curl -R -O http://www.lua.org/ftp/lua-#{lua_version}.tar.gz"
    config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "tar -zxf lua-#{lua_version}.tar.gz"
    config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "rm -f lua-#{lua_version}.tar.gz"
    config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "cd lua-#{lua_version}"
    #config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "make linux test" # default: make: *** No rule to make target 'linux'.  Stop.
    #config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "make linux" #  default: make: *** No rule to make target 'linux'.  Stop.
    #config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "make install"
    ## LuaRocks
    config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "wget https://luarocks.org/releases/luarocks-#{luarocks_version}.tar.gz"
    config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "tar zxpf luarocks-#{luarocks_version}.tar.gz"
    config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "rm -f luarocks-#{luarocks_version}.tar.gz"
    config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "cd luarocks-#{luarocks_version}"
    config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "./configure --with-lua-include=/usr/local/include"
    config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "make"
    config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "make install"
end

I still don't understand why the provisionning line make linux test doesn't work.
(I'm also quite new to Vagrant)

Any idea?

Problem fixed... that was simply because running make should be done in the correct directory (which wasn't the case).

For those who might be interested here is a Github project I did for installing Lua and LuaRocks from source in a Linux Ubuntu OS.
