Lua issue while compiling it with HAProxy

Question

Here is the issue.. When I run the command make -j $(nproc) TARGET=linux-glibc USE_PCRE=1 USE_PCRE_JIT=1 USE_OPENSSL=1 USE_ZLIB=1 USE_LINUX_TPROXY=1 USE_REGPARM=1 USE_LUA=1 USE_THREAD=1 USE_TFO=1

I get the error below.. I'm trying to build HaProxy 2.5 with Lua 5.4 from source.

When using the default Lua, which is 5.1.4 for CentOS7 then HAProxy can't find it. HaProxy doesn't work with 5.1.4 Lua. After updating the Lua to 5.3 or above and running the command

 make -j $(nproc) TARGET=linux-glibc USE_PCRE=1 USE_PCRE_JIT=1 USE_OPENSSL=1 USE_ZLIB=1 USE_LINUX_TPROXY=1 USE_REGPARM=1 USE_LUA=1 LUA_LIB_NAME=lua5.4 USE_THREAD=1 USE_TFO=1

I still get the error above. Please have in mind that the CentOS7 is a ARM64 infrastructure. I tried to build the HAProxy and Lua on AMD64 and it went through successfully. Is it possible that this is an ARM issue ?

It looks like the Lua library isn't being linked at all. Or maybe the library was built for the wrong architecture? — Siguza, Nov 03 '22 at 21:05
Good point Siguza! I don't know if there is a Lua release for ARM. I have to look into it. However even if I compile it from source I'm able to see the Lua version being updated to 5.4. in addition to your answer I may try with describing the path to Lua. — kdGeorgiev, Nov 04 '22 at 07:04

Okay to fix this issue first install the latest Lua package, then compile the HaProxy by using this command.

make -j $(nproc) USE_NS=1 > USE_TFO=1 > USE_ZLIB=1 > USE_LUA=1 > USE_PCRE=1 > USE_SYSTEMD=1 > USE_LIBCRYPT=1 > USE_THREAD=1 > TARGET=linux-glibc > LUA_INC=/src/lua-5.3.3/include > LUA_LIB=/src/lua-5.3.3/lib

Just outline the path of the Lua library and include directories.
