Compiling I have multiple versions of Lua installed, but can't select the one i want

[Eventide]

How can i setup cmake/make to use the correct Lua version? I'm not sure that is the problem, but it seems it is, i already have that problem when compiling OTClient.

However, the error that make outputs is:

Linking CXX executable tfs
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/liblua.a(loadlib.o): undefined reference to symbol 'dlclose@@GLIBC_2.2.5'
//lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I already googled this issue, and one of the answers i found is to use LIBS=-ldl make instead of make, it didn't solved anything

Of course with a proper IDE that would be relatively easy to solve, i just need to change the path to the library and that's it, but I'm still too noob on Linux to properly transfer a project from cmake/make to an IDE project, so, any help on that would be AMAZING too.

Forgot to mention that I'm using Debian 8 and TFS 1.1(stable release).

Also, i have 3 versions of Lua installed, 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3

Just uninstall the other versions of lua meanwhile?

Yeah, that would work, but i have several Lua versions because each project uses one, OTClient uses 5.1, TFS uses 5.2 and my own project uses 5.3, I'm not going to install/remove/install every time I'm working on a different project, that's extremely counter-productive.

Then i work recommend upgrading tfs and otclient to use 5.3 and remove the old ones

I suppose you installed them with different names (with versionname or number).

There are two variables to make that should define the right version to use.

Variable | Description | Default Value
USE_LUA | List of versions the port can use | All available versions
USE_LUA_NOT | List of versions the port can not use | None

Well, there is a lot of better information at the freebsd page.

I solved it in a simpler way, just installed cmake-gui and then it's easier to configure, even managed to make a CodeBlocks project from it! But thanks anyways, really, knowledge never is too much.

You get a plus on my list, not every OTLander post their solutions here, keep your work up, this forum needs more people like you!

As you say, knowledge is never enough.

I had same problem on Linux Mint 18 and TFS 1.x. With normal libraries everything worked fine, but after I compiled and installed LUA 5.1 for TFS 0.4 it started showing that error.
I fixed it by adding:

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_LIBRARIES -ldl)

Under:

set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_PERFORMANCE "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE} -march=native")

In CMakeLists.txt
