Integrating external Lua file libraries in compilation

[katawful]

I'm working on a colorscheme, and I would like to use hsluv.lua, but if I put it in the fnl directory Aniseed doesn't import it, and the lua directory gets deleted upon making. I can't find anything in the docs about using these external, but integrated, Lua libraries when making a plugin. Am I missing something?

Can you just put it under vim.fn.stdpath 'config' /lua dir?

Hm yeah, you should be able to add some Lua to any directory on your package.path, normal Lua rules apply really.

Although if you're writing a plugin and using my scripts you will run into the fact that it does a rm -r lua to ensure no files are left over after you delete something from the fnl dir. I would recommend storing your deps inside a deps or tools directory then amending your Makefile to copy the appropriate files into the right places upon make.

This is actually what Aniseed does with Fennel etc, it uses the embed.sh script (in the repo somewhere... sorry, not sure exactly where right now!) to copy the deps Lua into Aniseed/Conjure's Lua dir as well as perform some sed substitutions to prefix all requires and module names with aniseed.* to prevent conflicts with other Lua based plugins relying on the same module names.

I'll mess with embed.sh, that seems like what I need
