Re: [Bug-zile] Google Summer of Code 2014

[Garnaik Sumeet]

Hello Sir,

            I have build and installed zile which I had cloned from the master branch and I am starting to get some grip on lua and understanding the overall structure of zile.

It would be really great if you point me in certain direction to focus to,then I would start working on that part,like @gary Sir said about adding unicode support to zile would be a great start,I would love to do that part first,please give me some starters on adding that functionality.

Thank you,

Sumeet Garnaik

Sure, you need luaposix. The dependencies are documented in README.md under "Introduction".

Hello Sir,

            On running it zmacs it demands for a module 'posix'......which is not there with the stdlib.

The following was the output:

Hello Sir,

           Installing luarocks using 'apt-get' installs lua5.1 as a prerequisite....and I thought of removing liblua-5.1 and installing 5.2,but I guess that won't be possible since a lot of programs like brasero,vlc and all depend on it.....so I installed luarocks from the tar...and it worked just fine with dependency as lua5.2.

You can install Lua 5.2 with 5.1, no problem; distributions support simultaneous installation of both. You needed to install LuaRocks from source anyway, as the version in Debian/Ubuntu doesn't support Lua 5.2.

 

Now as you said,I removed commands.lua used 'make V=1' and the following was the output.....

This means that the zmacs executable isn't working. Try running it directly to see what error it gives.
