Description Jerome Quelin 2022-03-08 12:23:03 CET

Some vim plugins require lua interpreter support, would it be possible to compile vim using the --with-lua flag?

Current version doesn't have lua support:
$ vim --version|grep lua
+cursorbind        -lua               +scrollbind        +wildmenu

==> it says -lua instead of +lua

Strange thing: the spec has a Buildrequires on lua, so maybe it was supported but removed?

Thank you for the report.
The same thing is true for Mageia 8.

Vim is tv's territory, so assigning this to you.

This is still valid for vim-9.1.111-2.mga10. The BuildRequires was originally added by tv on its own in r1052500 with the change title "BR lua-devel" so I'm guessing the intention was, indeed, to add lua support. Whether it worked or not back then I don't know (I'm guessing not), but it defaults to disabled now and needs a --enable-luainterp=dynamic configure option to enable.
