Hishamaaand I'm done for the night, after a 7 hour stream!
We now have a branch where #LuaRocks can build from a plain Makefile into a stand-alone executable with all its #Lua dependencies vendored in: https://github.com/luarocks/luarocks/tree/luarocks4
Next steps will be to deal with its non-Lua dependencies, and Windows cross-compilation. With that in place, further code cleanups can start!
Omikhleia - Dragon BrumeuxToday, I extracted my #Lua port of the Rough.js library into a standalone module and published it on #luarocks
It is a small graphics library that lets you draw lines, polygons and curves in a sketchy, hand-drawn-like, style.
I formerly used it in some of my 3rd-party packages for the #SILE typesetting system, but now having it as its own independent module might be interesting for other Lua developers, outside the SILE ecosystem.

#LuaRocks question - how can I use it with #LuaJIT?
$ luarocks --lua-version=5.1 install --local opencl
Installing https://luarocks.org/opencl-1.2.0-1.src.rock
Warning: variable CFLAGS was not passed in build_variables
make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/luarocks_opencl-1.2.0-1/lua-opencl/test'
/usr/bin/lua5.1 platform.lua
/usr/bin/lua5.1: ...opencl-1.2.0-1/lua-opencl/test/../opencl/C.lua:7: module 'ffi' not found
Do I need to reconfigure/reinstall luarocks, or can I make it work with both LuaJIT and Lua 5.1/5.4?

BegasusUpdate on #haikuports, #lua 5.4.7 and #luarocks 3.11.1 have been fixed to nicely work together, now you should be able to just use luarocks to install your rocks on the system and use them, #ICU seen the new 75.1 version and a new package for #boost 1.85.0 has been added, with the last 2 one in place I was able to build and package #Sourcetrail 2024.7.3 (not packaged for the depot).
Have fun in your Haiku as always! :) #HaikuOS
