Create binary for Linux

[shaunlebron]

Can't seem to create a build on Ubuntu. I get linker errors saying that it can't find dlclose symbol in glibc. I added dl to libs, and still wasn't fixed:

$ ./build.sh

It builds und runs fine for me on Debian unstable after installing liblua5.2-dev and applying the following changes.

 # FIXME - stupid hack

Where's your LUA installation coming from? As it's installed in /usr/local so it's not from the official repo.

Thanks @thoemy. I was building Lua from source and using its make install process. details here

Will give this a try and update the Makefile if all goes well. Are there any complications with distributing a binary like this to linux users? I'm not familiar with this space.

Built out of the box on Archlinux for me, dependencies were 'libxxf86vm' 'libxxf86dga' 'lua>=5.2'.

Thanks @thoemy! I just updated the Makefile to use your parameters if it detects Debian.

I'm going to close this and not create a binary for linux since users are used to building, and I'm not sure how to build a binary for all linux distros.
