Hi Hisham,

OS X 10.6's 64/32 bit support has caused a few headaches since I  
rebuilt everything from MacPorts, and I guess most things rebuilt  
x86_64. LuaJIT however is 32-bit.  Rebuilding MacPorts with +universal  
helped (I never knew what that flag meant...), and then the problem  
that remained was that LuaRocks didn't build universal binaries.

I changed lines 223&4 of cfg.lua to

   defaults.variables.CC = "export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.6; gcc  
-arch i686 -arch x86_64"
   defaults.variables.LD = "export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.6; gcc  
-arch i686 -arch x86_64"

Which got me a a universal binary for lfs:

$ sudo luarocks install luafilesystem
...
$ lipo -info /opt/local/lib/lua/5.1/lfs.so
Architectures in the fat file: /opt/local/lib/lua/5.1/lfs.so are: i386  
x86_64

... and compatibility with LuaJIT!  Would an option for a universal  
build be worth including in LuaRocks?  (note that I don't know that  
this is the *right* way to change cfg.lua, it's just a way that seems  
to get me what I want)

Cheers and thanks,
Geoff
