./configure cannot find lua #1065

Closed bscuron closed 1 year ago

bscuron commented 1 year ago

I am trying to compile vis on WSL, but am having trouble getting lua and syntax highlighting to work. I made sure to download the programs in the README. Here is the output of ./configure and the path to my lua executable.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I was looking through the documentation and found: :help "Lua paths". Will try to move the executable to one of the paths.

configure depends on pkg-config(1) to detect Lua - configure:450.

You probably don't have pkg-config installed in WSL.

Fixed. Thank you!
