This helps to figure out what the problem is, e.g. in my case I have lua51-mpack installed to be used with luajit, but it is broken (missing libmpack). With this patch you get: -- Checking Lua interpreter /usr/bin/luajit /usr/bin/luajit: error loading module 'mpack' from file '/usr/lib/lua/5.1/mpack.so': libmpack.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory stack traceback: [C]: at 0x55fcf0166fb0 [C]: in function 'require' (command line):1: in main chunk [C]: at 0x55fcf01188a0 -- [/usr/bin/luajit] The 'mpack' lua package is required for building Neovim -- Checking Lua interpreter /usr/bin/lua5.1 /usr/bin/lua5.1: error loading module 'mpack' from file '/usr/lib/lua/5.1/mpack.so': libmpack.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory stack traceback: [C]: ?

While this makes it more verbose for the expected error case ("module 'mpack' not found"), the behavior before this patch hides too much. This is the old output: -- Checking Lua interpreter /usr/bin/luajit -- [/usr/bin/luajit] The 'mpack' lua package is required for building Neovim -- Checking Lua interpreter /usr/bin/lua5.1 -- [/usr/bin/lua5.1] The 'mpack' lua package is required for building Neovim -- Checking Lua interpreter /usr/bin/lua5.2 -- [/usr/bin/lua5.2] The 'mpack' lua package is required for building Neovim -- Checking Lua interpreter /usr/bin/lua -- [/usr/bin/lua] The 'mpack' lua package is required for building Neovim CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:459 (message): A suitable Lua interpreter was not found. This is for when the whole configuration runs (i.e. after `make distclean`), afterwards only one Lua interpreter gets checked only. |
