Hello

I can successfully compile and use a Lua module using the 2007 release of the toolchain (the Blackfin-based appliance used that version, so I guess it's safer to use the same toolchain),  but, although I can compile them OK, I get the following error when trying to load standard modules like LuaSocket:

============

appliance> ./lua

Lua 5.1.4  Copyright (C) 1994-2008 Lua.org, PUC-Rio

> require "socket"

error loading module 'socket' from file './socket.so':

        Unable to resolve symbol

stack traceback:

        [C]: ?

        [C]: in function 'require'

        stdin:1: in main chunk

        [C]: ?

============

Here's LuaSocket's config + makefile:

============

workstation# cat /var/tmp/luasocket-2.0.2/config

export PATH:=$(PATH):/usr/src/baps/opt/uClinux/bfin-linux-uclibc/bin

TARGET_CROSS=bfin-linux-uclibc-

LD=$(CC)

STRIP=$(TARGET_CROSS)strip

AR=$(TARGET_CROSS)ar rcu

RANLIB=$(TARGET_CROSS)ranlib

DEF=-DLUASOCKET_DEBUG

LUAINC=-I/var/tmp/lua-5.1.4/src

CFLAGS= $(LUAINC) $(DEF) -O2 -Wall -pedantic -fpic

#LDFLAGS= -O -shared -fpic

LDFLAGS= -shared -fpic

============

workstation# cat /var/tmp/luasocket-2.0.2/src/makefile

all: $(SOCKET_SO) $(MIME_SO)

$(SOCKET_SO): $(SOCKET_OBJS)

        $(LD) $(LDFLAGS) -o $@ $(SOCKET_OBJS)

$(MIME_SO): $(MIME_OBJS)

        $(LD) $(LDFLAGS) -o $@ $(MIME_OBJS)

============

I have no clue as to whether the issue comes from the switches used to compile LuaSocket, Lua, or if the uClinux-dist I'm using lacks something that Lua/LuaSocket requires.

Thank you for any help.

In case someone else has the same issue... the error message above has nothing to do with compiling: LuaSocket expects files to be located at specific locations and have a specific name. I was focusing so much on compiling settings that I didn't pay attention to installation requirements.
