Topic: Lua 5.4.2 compilation error with Apache 2.4.51

[Anitha]

Hi Team,
I am using Apache version 2.4.51 and compiler using cmake on(vc++14) on windows.

And i used the following command for compilation. Kindly help.

cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=D:\Apache24\ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
nmake
nmake install

Error :

CMake Warning:
No source or binary directory provided. Both will be assumed to be the
same as the current working directory, but note that this warning will
become a fatal error in future CMake releases.


CMake Error: The source directory "C:/httpd-2.4.51/srclib/lua" does not appear t
o contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.


Thanks,
Anitha.S

The LUA project does not currently support CMake; hence the lack of a CMakeLists.txt file, though there are several forks on GitHub which do.

The Apache CMake build process detailed here (https://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=39754) does support LUA 5.4. Check out the "additional notes" section, which references an additional CMakeLists.txt file, viz:

d) CMakeLists.txt for LUA 5.4 is an extra file which can be downloaded from https://apaste.info/5LSB (for LUA 5.3 CMakeLists.txt can be downloaded from https://apaste.info/yOSR).

This may help with your build process.
