# SYNOPSIS
#
# AX_PROG_LUA[([MINIMUM-VERSION], [TOO-BIG-VERSION], [ACTION-IF-FOUND], [ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND])]
# AX_LUA_HEADERS[([ACTION-IF-FOUND], [ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND])]
# AX_LUA_LIBS[([ACTION-IF-FOUND], [ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND])]
# AX_LUA_READLINE[([ACTION-IF-FOUND], [ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND])]
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
# Detect a Lua interpreter, optionally specifying a minimum and maximum
# version number. Set up important Lua paths, such as the directories in
# which to install scripts and modules (shared libraries).
#
# Also detect Lua headers and libraries. The Lua version contained in the
# header is checked to match the Lua interpreter version exactly. When
# searching for Lua libraries, the version number is used as a suffix.
# This is done with the goal of supporting multiple Lua installs (5.1 and
# 5.2 side-by-side).
#
# A note on compatibility with previous versions: This file has been
# mostly rewritten for serial 18. Most developers should be able to use
# these macros without needing to modify configure.ac. Care has been taken
# to preserve each macro's behavior, but there are some differences:
#
# 1) AX_WITH_LUA is deprecated; it now expands to the exact same thing as
# AX_PROG_LUA with no arguments.
#
# 2) AX_LUA_HEADERS now checks that the version number defined in lua.h
# matches the interpreter version. AX_LUA_HEADERS_VERSION is therefore
# unnecessary, so it is deprecated and does not expand to anything.
#
# 3) The configure flag --with-lua-suffix no longer exists; the user
# should instead specify the LUA precious variable on the command line.
# See the AX_PROG_LUA description for details.
#
# Please read the macro descriptions below for more information.
#
# This file was inspired by Andrew Dalke's and James Henstridge's
# python.m4 and Tom Payne's, Matthieu Moy's, and Reuben Thomas's ax_lua.m4
# (serial 17). Basically, this file is a mash-up of those two files. I
# like to think it combines the best of the two!
#
# AX_PROG_LUA: Search for the Lua interpreter, and set up important Lua
# paths. Adds precious variable LUA, which may contain the path of the Lua
# interpreter. If LUA is blank, the user's path is searched for an
# suitable interpreter.
#
# If MINIMUM-VERSION is supplied, then only Lua interpreters with a
# version number greater or equal to MINIMUM-VERSION will be accepted. If
# TOO-BIG- VERSION is also supplied, then only Lua interpreters with a
# version number greater or equal to MINIMUM-VERSION and less than
# TOO-BIG-VERSION will be accepted.
#
# Version comparisons require the AX_COMPARE_VERSION macro, which is
# provided by ax_compare_version.m4 from the Autoconf Archive.
#
# The Lua version number, LUA_VERSION, is found from the interpreter, and
# substituted. LUA_PLATFORM is also found, but not currently supported (no
# standard representation).
#
# Finally, the macro finds four paths:
#
# luadir Directory to install Lua scripts.
# pkgluadir $luadir/$PACKAGE
# luaexecdir Directory to install Lua modules.
# pkgluaexecdir $luaexecdir/$PACKAGE
#
# These paths a found based on $prefix, $exec_prefix, Lua's package.path,
# and package.cpath. The first path of package.path beginning with $prefix
# is selected as luadir. The first path of package.cpath beginning with
# $exec_prefix is used as luaexecdir. This should work on all reasonable
# Lua installations. If a path cannot be determined, a default path is
# used. Of course, the user can override these later when invoking make.
#
# luadir Default: $prefix/share/lua/$LUA_VERSION
# luaexecdir Default: $exec_prefix/lib/lua/$LUA_VERSION
#
# These directories can be used by Automake as install destinations. The
# variable name minus 'dir' needs to be used as a prefix to the
# appropriate Automake primary, e.g. lua_SCRIPS or luaexec_LIBRARIES.
#
# If an acceptable Lua interpreter is found, then ACTION-IF-FOUND is
# performed, otherwise ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND is preformed. If ACTION-IF-NOT-
# FOUND is blank, then it will default to printing an error. To prevent
# the default behavior, give ':' as an action.
#
# AX_LUA_HEADERS: Search for Lua headers. Requires that AX_PROG_LUA be
# expanded before this macro. Adds precious variable LUA_INCLUDE, which
# may contain Lua specific include flags, e.g. -I/usr/include/lua5.1. If
# LUA_INCLUDE is blank, then this macro will attempt to find suitable
# flags.
#
# LUA_INCLUDE can be used by Automake to compile Lua modules or
# executables with embedded interpreters. The *_CPPFLAGS variables should
# be used for this purpose, e.g. myprog_CPPFLAGS = $(LUA_INCLUDE).
#
# This macro searches for the header lua.h (and others). The search is
# performed with a combination of CPPFLAGS, CPATH, etc, and LUA_INCLUDE.
# If the search is unsuccessful, then some common directories are tried.
# If the headers are then found, then LUA_INCLUDE is set accordingly.
#
# The paths automatically searched are:
#
# * /usr/include/luaX.Y
# * /usr/include/lua/X.Y
# * /usr/include/luaXY
# * /usr/local/include/luaX.Y
# * /usr/local/include/lua-X.Y
# * /usr/local/include/lua/X.Y
# * /usr/local/include/luaXY
#
# (Where X.Y is the Lua version number, e.g. 5.1.)
#
# The Lua version number found in the headers is always checked to match
# the Lua interpreter's version number. Lua headers with mismatched
# version numbers are not accepted.
#
# If headers are found, then ACTION-IF-FOUND is performed, otherwise
# ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND is performed. If ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND is blank, then
# it will default to printing an error. To prevent the default behavior,
# set the action to ':'.
#
# AX_LUA_LIBS: Search for Lua libraries. Requires that AX_PROG_LUA be
# expanded before this macro. Adds precious variable LUA_LIB, which may
# contain Lua specific linker flags, e.g. -llua5.1. If LUA_LIB is blank,
# then this macro will attempt to find suitable flags.
#
# LUA_LIB can be used by Automake to link Lua modules or executables with
# embedded interpreters. The *_LIBADD and *_LDADD variables should be used
# for this purpose, e.g. mymod_LIBADD = $(LUA_LIB).
#
# This macro searches for the Lua library. More technically, it searches
# for a library containing the function lua_load. The search is performed
# with a combination of LIBS, LIBRARY_PATH, and LUA_LIB.
#
# If the search determines that some linker flags are missing, then those
# flags will be added to LUA_LIB.
#
# If libraries are found, then ACTION-IF-FOUND is performed, otherwise
# ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND is performed. If ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND is blank, then
# it will default to printing an error. To prevent the default behavior,
# set the action to ':'.
#
# AX_LUA_READLINE: Search for readline headers and libraries. Requires the
# AX_LIB_READLINE macro, which is provided by ax_lib_readline.m4 from the
# Autoconf Archive.
#
# If a readline compatible library is found, then ACTION-IF-FOUND is
# performed, otherwise ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND is performed.
