In order for Gentoo Linux to properly support side-by-side installation of different versions of Lua (including LuaJIT), please migrate this package as to lua.eclass (for packages which should support multiple Lua implementations at the same time, i.e. most likely Lua modules) or lua-single.eclass (for packages which only have to support one Lua implementation at a time). For details, consult documentation of respective eclasses as well as already-migrated ebuilds in the tree. Please note that since slotted dev-lang/lua is currently masked, your migrated ebuilds should be masked as well. There is a section of package.mask, created in September 2020, which you can use for this purpose so that it will be easier in the future to unmask them all in one go. Thank you in advance for your effort!

Details: Widelands source code comes bundled with Lua - or to be precise with Eris (https://github.com/fnuecke/eris), which according to its upstream should be considered "a custom 'distribution' of Lua" due to the fact it hooks heavily into Lua internals. Since src/third_party/eris/README.eris explicitly states that the bundled Eris is what brings in the Lua version used in Widelands, it is no surprise that upstream build scripts do not even attempt to look for system Lua.

No dev-lang/lua{,jit} dependency => no need to use Lua eclasses.
