It's possible that ${wireshark-src}/cmake/modules/FindLUA.cmake is not properly detecting Lua 5.2 on your system. Check the path defined by LUA_LIBRARY (and check LUA_INCLUDE_DIR while you're at it), using these commands:

   $ cd ${wireshark-src}

   $ cmake -LA | grep LUA

The output should look something like this:

ENABLE_LUA:BOOL=ON

LUA_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/Users/tony/src/lua-5.2.1/src/build/include

LUA_LIBRARIES:STRING=/Users/tony/src/lua-5.2.1/src/build/lib/liblua.a

LUA_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/Users/tony/src/lua-5.2.1/src/build/lib/liblua.a

You can either fix the detection script, or manually edit your path variables (I use `ccmake`):

1. Enter the CMake configuration with: $ ccmake .
2. Press 't' to toggle "Advanced mode" (to show the advanced variables)
3. Verify (and edit) LUA_INCLUDE_DIR, LUA_LIBRARIES, and LUA_LIBRARY. For the library paths, enter the full path to liblua.a for Lua 5.2.

Hi all,

I recently attempted to switch from autotools to cmake for building
wireshark, but for some reason cmake won't link liblua properly:

lib/libwireshark.so: undefined reference to `lua_tonumber'
lib/libwireshark.so: undefined reference to `lua_call'
lib/libwireshark.so: undefined reference to `lua_pcall'
lib/libwireshark.so: undefined reference to `luaL_loadfile'
lib/libwireshark.so: undefined reference to `luaL_register'

If I compile with VERBOSE=1, the failing gcc command is:

/usr/bin/gcc   -O2 -g -Wall -W -Wextra -Wendif-labels -Wpointer-arith
-Warray-bounds -Wcast-align -Wformat-security -fexcess-precision=fast
-Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wno-pointer-sign -Wold-style-definition

The switch "-llua5.2" does exist in the above line, and is the correct
switch, so I guess it's just not late enough in the list of libraries.
Knowing nothing about cmake, I thought I'd ask here - where should I
be looking to figure out what's gone wrong? Autotools builds (and
links with liblua) correctly.

Thanks,
Evan
