Re: [ANNOUNCE] Lua 5.0 (pre-release) now available

[mnicolet <mnicolet@...>]

I compiled the pre-release version using Watcom 10.6 on QNX 4.25 ( no shared
libs ).
After relevant changes to config, it compiled without trouble.
Exception was the print_usage function in lua.c.
The question is that stdlib.h ( Watcom´s or QNX´s version, at least )
declares it
as
void print_usage( char ** );
and Watcom ( thanks them ! ), even if compiling C code, marks args or return
types
differences as errors.
The answer was simple: capitalize the function name in lua.c. That was not a
lot of work.
I am trying now to ´diff´ every module against lua-5.0-alpha to learn about
what and how changed,
pointing to adequate luapi.
