Description Cyril 2013-11-01 09:00:07 UTC

We need to know the version of lua-5.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
objdump -p /usr/lib64/libluabind.so | grep liblua.so
  NEEDED               liblua.so.5


Expected Results:  
objdump -p /usr/lib64/libluabind.so | grep liblua.so
  NEEDED               liblua.so.5.1



This is part of a cmake module to discover the lua version linked to luabind.

This sounds rather painful. While I agree that you should be able to NEED the minor version, libtool is rather stubborn when it comes to versioning. I haven't been able to bypass it's -Wl,-soname specification.

If somebody has suggestions on how to do this, I'll have a look.

This should be fixed with slotted lua, which is already in ~arch und currently being stabilized.
