luapp and lua-cairo support #1

Closed npyl closed 5 years ago

npyl commented 7 years ago

I haven't yet been able to enable enable luapp and lua-cairo

EDIT: other than that, basic lua support such as lua_load() etc exists.

The only problem now seems to be getting luapp and lua-cairo to work on macOS.

luapp has been incorporated into conky in bb8723dd361d15be0077ab9270292b96572415e6. This has enabled luapp for macOS, too! Cairo also works (tested) but it seems that it is quite buggy. Once I know more I will update this! 🤘

Progress: I downloaded upstream cairo, built and installed it (Homebrew does not provide a cairo with xlib support, thus we need to compile it ourselves). cmake was able to find it and it compiled successfully. Then I had to copy libcairo.dylib (generated by conky) in a directory called lua in the same directory that conky is located.

This means that we can now start shipping MC with a conky with cairo support, but there are still some small problems such as current directory passed to conky (when called by MC) not containing lua/libcairo.dylib
