Bug#682183: liblua5.1-0-dev: lua-deb-multiarch.h not found when compiling source including lua.h

[Sebastien Helleu]

Package: liblua5.1-0-dev
Version: 5.1.5-3
Severity: normal

When compiling a source including lua.h, the header lua-deb-multiarch.h
is not found, maybe a link to this file is missing?

Test file (test-lua.c):

#include <lua.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
return 0;
}

When compiling:

$ gcc -I/usr/include/lua5.1 -o test-lua test-lua.c
In file included from /usr/include/lua5.1/lua.h:16:0,
from test-lua.c:1:
/usr/include/lua5.1/luaconf.h:98:31: fatal error: lua-deb-multiarch.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

Am I missing something?

Compilation was ok with version 5.1.5-2 of package
(where the file lua-deb-multiarch.h did not exist).

The problem is that you added by hand "-I/usr/include/lua5.1" while you
should get CFLAGS in a more systematic way.

Try `pkg-config --cflags lua5.1`.
As you will see there is an extra -I flag to be passed to gcc.

Cheers
