HOWTO

# toLua 5.2.4
# ===========
# I have not used this in a long time, and was not able to build this
# against Lua 5.4.6, so it's just here for future reference...

# Get the source
cd
test -f installed/tolua-5.2.4.tar.gz && mv installed/tolua-5.2.4.tar.gz .
test ! -f tolua-5.2.4.tar.gz &&
wget https://web.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~celes/tolua/tolua-5.2.4.tar.gz

# Extract the source
mkdir -p -m 0700 ~/src
cd ~/src
find -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "tolua-*" -exec rm -r {} \;
tar xzvf ~/tolua-5.2.4.tar.gz
cd tolua-5.2.4
test $UID = 0 && chown -R root:root .

# Open config in a text editor, make any necessary changes
# Change lib to lib64 if 64-bit
# I had to add '-ldl' to the LUALIB line in a previous version

# Build it
make

# Become root to install it
su

install -m 755 bin/tolua /usr/local/bin/
install -m 644 lib/libtolua.a /usr/local/lib/
install -m 644 include/tolua.h /usr/local/include/

# Become yourself again
exit

cd
mkdir -p -m 0700 installed
rm -f installed/tolua-*.tar.*
mv tolua-5.2.4.tar.gz installed/

# If you ever want to uninstall tolua, this should do it:
su
rm -f /usr/local/bin/tolua /usr/local/lib/libtolua.a \
/usr/local/include/tolua.h
ldconfig
exit
find ~/src -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "tolua-*" -exec rm -r {} \;
rm -f ~/installed/tolua-*.tar.*
