Building springrts on OpenBSD

[Anthony J. Bentley]

Hi,

IÔÇÖm trying to install Spring RTS on OpenBSD, but the build fails at 8%:

Code: Select all

I do have Lua 5.1.4 installed. Does anyone have an idea of a solution?

you do not have to have Lua installed somehow. all of Lua that spring needs is in the spring repo already.
i do not know why you get this compile error, but i would guess it is something BSD related. maybe some core libraries, the gcc version you are using, ... something else in the environment.

'lua_Hash' for example is defined in rts/lib/lua/include/lua.h.
maybe the header guard define lua_h is already defined when the header first appears, so it's content gets never included.
you likely have to play detective yourself, i am afraid. :/
