>Description:
Since the commit to lang/lua on 2008-07-04 (port version 5.1.3_2), lang/lua
installs a shared library as ${PREFIX}/lib/lua51/liblua.so.1 along the
liblua.a. This causes some ports previously linking to liblua statically, to
now link dynamically (example: security/nmap). However, the component "lua"
is still marked as "build" dependency for lua 5.1 in bsd.lua.mk, resulting in
a missing run-time dependency on lang/lua.
The following is only a 5 minute analysis, and I am not too familiar with the
inner workings of the lua ports. That is also the reason why I don't submit
a patch -- fixing this in the wrong way might break a lot of ports.
Since lang/lua (lua 5.1) installs the shared object using different naming and
versioning conventions than lang/lua50 and earlier, the logic implemented in
bsd.lua.mk breaks if I attempt to use dependency type "lib" with lua 5.1. As
far as I can see, it attempts to find lua 5.1.1 and a shared library named
liblua-5.1.so.1. There are different possible ways to fix this. Either add
special casing to bsd.lua.mk to handle the different installation conventions
of lua 5.1, or fix lang/lua 5.1 to install the shared object in the same way
as the other lua ports do (AFAICS liblua-5.1.so.3 instead of liblua.so.1).
Since PR 121834 concerning lang/lua timed out on the current maintainer, I am
CC'ing to two committers which I think might/should be interested in this PR:
. araujo - committed lang/lua 5.1.3_2 which installs the .so
. alepulver - "maintainer" of bsd.lua.mk
>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/ports
cd security/nmap && make install clean && cd -
ldd `which nmap` # note the liblua
pkg_delete lua-5.1.3_2 # does not know about the dependency from nmap
ldd `which nmap` # note the missing liblua
>Fix:
Unsure, see analysis above.
