- AHTERIX5000 3y agoLuarocks works quite well if the lib is pure Lua. For native libs it's a wild west and success depends a lot on your environment. Sometimes the lib is being built with -Werror and fails if you're using more recent compiler, sometimes include paths are not resolved correctly using pkgconfig or similar and so on.
