Cmake: Lua51 version not detected #160

Closed EndlessEden closed 3 years ago

EndlessEden commented 4 years ago

OS: Linux Distribution: Archlinux Lua51 version: 5.1.5 (/usr/lib/liblua5.1.so -> liblua5.1.so.5.1.5)

Could NOT find Lua51: Found unsuitable version "", but required is at least "5.1" (found /usr/lib/liblua5.1.so;/usr/lib/libm.so)

liblua5.1 is currently installed (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/lua51/) - But its version is not extracted. Either cmake is not following the symlink to the file, or is using some depreciated method of extracting it.

lua was an idea years ago for a scripting language to enable server-side scripting for server scripts. this was never implemented, nor have i personally found a use for it. it should be removed.

i would recommend setting it as a optional dependancy. enable it via a switch. Even if its not currently impletmented, i personally think it would be useful in the future.

zhyrohaad commented 4 years ago

that would be fine. you interested in doing that?

I have removed it in my pull request. If it will actually be used, that is when it should be added as a dependency in my opinion.

It can always be readded if and when code that uses it is added to the server.
