which version of lua do you compile neovim with?

[gramblerz]

plugins are throwing errors. if i compile and install luajit from source neovim complains that it cannot use lua modules and does not open. if i compile and install neovim from source plugins work nice.

https://github.com/clearlinux-pkgs/neovim/blob/main/neovim.spec Not sure, might be luaJIT's 5.2 or upstream lua latest from the spec file.

from the build logs -- Using Lua interpreter: /usr/bin/luajit -- Using Lua interpreter for code generation: /usr/bin/luajit -- Using Lua compiler: /usr/bin/luajit -b -s %s -

so it's our luajit

your luajit is beta03 if i install default git v2.1 /usr/bin/nvim does not open says:

vim/_init_packages.lua: cannot load incompatible bytecode
stack traceback:

    [C]: at 0x560aa9a1a290
E970: Failed to initialize builtin lua modules

if i check out 2.1.0-beta3 and install it then /usr/bin/nvim opens. (if i uninstall my own neovim plugins give issues (i use lunarvim)) however, i think that i have built neovim with your luajit installed. maybe you build it differently, more statically or something? include something extra?

[gramblerz]

maybe neovim bundles its own luajit which you don't use and instead use your own.

[gramblerz]

in the cmake options of my neovim git, LUA_GEN_PRG is set to /home/g/git-pkges/neovim/.deps/usr/bin/luajit. ( LUA_GEN_PRG: Path to the lua used for code generation. )

neovim has been a slight nightmare for us on the lua front -- it also wants lpeg and a few others to come with it and it seems the lua ecosystem has become fragmented

if you have a well working setup we'd be very interested to see if we can replicate that -- but ideally with exact versions of all the pieces since we do need all of them to work together in the end ;( (and lua extends beyond neovim so if a choice breaks other lua parts that's also not a happy spot for us obviously)

neovim cmake takes care of dependencies simple make and sudo make install. see cmake.deps/ in the source.

Neovim uses latest version from branch v2.1 https://github.com/neovim/neovim/blob/081beb3659bd6d8efc3e977a160b1e72becbd8a2/cmake.deps/deps.txt#L4

Another option is to compile with static libs
