h1. Installing Luabind on Linux, Mac OS X, ...

Since luabind is not available from macports (I think certain Linux Distributions do not provide it too), here the short summary how to install luabind on a Unix like system :)

h2. Installing lua

To build luabind, you need liblua. Install it, for example on a Mac using macports:

<pre>

sudo port install lua

</pre>

On Ubuntu 10.04:

<pre>

sudo apt-get install liblua5.1-0-dev

</pre>

On CentOS 5+

<pre>

yum install lua-devel

</pre>

h2. Getting the source

While writing this, the most current version is 0.9. Get it!

On Mac OS X:

<pre>

curl -O http://sunet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/luabind/luabind/0.9/luabind-0.9.tar.gz

</pre>

On Linux:

<pre>

wget http://sunet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/luabind/luabind/0.9/luabind-0.9.tar.gz

</pre>

Alternativly, you can take the source on Kervala's repository

<pre>

svn checkout http://svn.kervala.net/utils/packaging/luabind

</pre>

That version includes a cmake config and allows to build a debian package.

h2. Extract the source

<pre>

tar zxf luabind-0.9.tar.gz

</pre>

h2. Building and installing

h3. All CMake platforms

If you downloaded sources from http://svn.kervala.net/utils/packaging/luabind, you just need to type

<pre>

cd luabind

mkdir build

cd build

cmake ..

# with STLport, append: -DWITH_STLPORT=ON

# in static, append: -DWITH_STATIC=ON

# for Mac OS X, append: -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/local

make

sudo make install

</pre>

h3. On Ubuntu 10.04:

install boost build:

<pre>

sudo apt-get install boost-build libboost-dev

</pre>

and compile / install with the following command:

<pre>

sudo bjam --prefix=/usr/local install

</pre>

h3. On Gentoo

if boost-build package is not installed:

<pre>

sudo emerge boost-build -av

</pre>

and compile /install with the following command: (replace 1_41 by your version of bjam)

<pre>

sudo bjam-1_41 --prefix=/usr/local install

</pre>

check if lib is named correctly. 

<pre>

ls /usr/local/lib/libluabind*.so

</pre>

if lib si named libluabindd.so create a symlink

<pre>

sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libluabindd.so /usr/local/lib/libluabind.so

</pre>

h3. On Mac OS X:

Kervala's repository works great on Mac OS X as well. Just do:

<pre>

svn checkout http://svn.kervala.net/utils/packaging/luabind

cd luabind

mkdir build

cd build

cmake ..

make

sudo make install

</pre>

Thats all!

*The following method is deprecated!*

Bjam might be annoying and complicated, use this small build script. Put it in the luabind root directory.

This script is configured for a Mac OS X having lua and boost installed in /opt/local (using macports).

Please adjust LUA_INCLUDE_DIR, LUA_LIBRARY_DIR and LIB_EXTENSION if you have a different setup.

<pre>

#!/bin/sh

LUA_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/local/include

LUA_LIBRARY_DIR=/opt/local/lib

LIB_EXTENSION=dylib

rm -rf build

mkdir -p build/src

for i in src/*.cpp

do 

	gcc -I$LUA_INCLUDE_DIR -I. -fPIC -c $i -o build/$i.o

done

gcc -shared -o build/libluabind.$LIB_EXTENSION build/src/*.o \

	-L$LUA_LIBRARY_DIR -lstdc++ -llua

</pre>

To install the thing, just copy lib and header into the preferred path. For example:

<pre>

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/include

sudo cp -r luabind /usr/local/include

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/lib

sudo cp build/libluabind.* /usr/local/lib

</pre>

h2. Thats all

Hope that works for you. 

Have fun!
