Bug 296697 – games-roguelike/crossfire-client-1.12.0 fails to build due to implicit declaration when Lua >= 5.1 is installed

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Tim Hentenaar 2009-12-13 06:29:15 UTC]

This package fails to build (see additional info) because it fails to include lauxlib.h which declares luaL_newstate() in Lua >= 5.1, yet calls lua_open() which is #defined to luaL_newstate().

I've already reported this upstream, and sent a patch: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2913553&group_id=13833&atid=313833



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =games-roguelike/crossfire-client-1.12.0
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
* QA Notice: Package has poor programming practices which may compile
*            fine but exhibit random runtime failures.
* script_lua.c:247: warning: implicit declaration of function luaL_newstate
* 
* QA Notice: Package has poor programming practices which may compile
*            but will almost certainly crash on 64bit architectures.
* 
* Function `luaL_newstate' implicitly converted to pointer at script_lua.c:247
* 
*  Please file a bug about this at http://bugs.gentoo.org/
*  with the maintaining herd of the package.

Expected Results:  
Installation of the package.
