No `linux-arm` support. about keralua HOT 7 CLOSED

Linking does not work, however copying the library to the output directory as liblua53.so works.

The issue is not really solved.

The problem stems from the fact that KeraLua tries to load the Lua API with the incorrect name. The name shared object (DLL for linux) of the API is liblua5.3.so not liblua53.so (notice the extra period).

An ideal fix is to add a new if preprocessor for the LuaLibraryName constant in "src/NativeMethods.cs" for Linux hosts.

You could also provide arm builds like you do for the x86 architecture; which is automatically copied to the output directory.

If you won't do that just mark it wontfix and I won't complain.

The problem is that if I change I would break people how are already using the convention lua53 like on windows using LuaBinaries.

I would build the linux-arm, but not sure Azure DevOps supports cross compile linux-arm. (if supports feel free to send a PR with the cross compile patch).

Another solution is you build KeraLua from source and patch NativeMethods.cs

I see, sorry if my comment was passive aggressive. I was looking for a further explanation. I would send a PR but I am not experience enough in CI systems to be able to provide such a patch, but I would assume if you can run gcc for x64 linux builds, you can run them for arm with the correct compiler.

What if you create a symlink with the name liblua53 ?

No worries 😊
This is how I am building lua linux. https://github.com/NLua/KeraLua/blob/master/build/targets/BuildLua.Linux.targets

If you have any idea how to cross-build to target arm feel free to send a PR or instructions what should be added.

Some research shows that the common compiler is in the packages gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi and binutils-arm-linux-gnueabi. Then if you set the compiler to arm-linux-gnueabi-gccinstead, it should theoretically work. Most likely the variable is CC for the compiler, though you should inspect the makefiles for a better understading.
