[Plplot-devel] Building fails with Lua version > 5.1

[Atri <bad...@ai...>]

Hi!

I package plplot (version 5.9.9) for the Linux distribution openSUSE
[1]. I have run into a problem with building plplot for openSUSE's
factory (eventually this will become the next openSUSE release): the
version of lua in factory is 5.2 [2], but plplot's lua bindings won't
build with lua > 5.1. For now I have just disabled the lua bindings for
factory. It seems to me that the cmake module for building the lua
bindings check explicitly for versions of lua = 5.0 and 5.1. It might be
useful to adapt this cmake module to accept any lua version >= 5.0. I
have really little knowledge about cmake, but could help out with build
testing etc. as the need be.

Thanks a lot!
