My 'Lua for Linux" experiment attempted to give a 'Lua for Windows'
experience, with SciTE for editing (and debugging) plus the 'usual
suspects'. If I was doing it now it would involve the person grabbing
LuaRocks (with apt-get or yum) and then doing
$ sudo luarocks install batteries
where 'batteries' is a meta-package that pulls in all the common packages.[1]
And for a standardized platform like this, we _can_ provide binary
rocks, so no chasing down development dependencies.
(A nice lightweight GUI kit available through LuaRocks is ltcltk.)
steve d.
[1] ok but 'please use the system package manager!'. Yes, but this
way we can avoid Fedora/Debian/etc wars.
