when picking a default dependency dir, look for lib/ first

2024-02-19T13:54:49+00:00

When a rockspec specifies `external_dependencies` but those don't define a `library` entry, we don't have a way to check for the various possible `external_deps_subdirs` to find the one that contains the library. (But people really should specify a `library` entry there if they're linking the library!) Previously, we were just picking the first one from the list. On Windows, this meant that sometimes setting `MY_DEPENDENCY_DIR` would not be sufficient if the library was under `$MY_DEPENDENCY_DIR/lib`, because "" was picked first. We now improve the heuristic by putting "lib" first on the list and checking if it exists. I'm still keeping "bin" in the end of the list, because I think this is less common that a flat directory structure on Windows, so "lib" covers the Unix-like trees and "" covers flat trees (I don't remember why have "bin" as a library subdir on Windows, but if it's there then we must have seen it in the wild!) This means that "bin" will never get auto-picked by this heuristic, but it will be available for the cases where `library` _is_ set. While I'm at it, I also flipped the order of some Unix entries, so that this heuristic for these kind of rockspecs gets a nicer behavior on Unix systems that have things like `/usr/lib64` and `/usr/lib/` as well. Fixes #1041.

feat(path): add --full flag for --lr-path and --lr-cpath

2024-02-19T11:22:54+00:00

By default, `--lr-path` and `--lr-cpath` only include the paths derived by the LuaRocks rocks_trees. Using `--full` includes any other components defined in your system's package.(c)path, either via the running interpreter's default paths or via `LUA_(C)PATH(_5_x)` environment variables (in short, using `--full` produces the same lists as shown in the shell outputs of `luarocks path`. Closes #1351.

fix: do not attempt setting exec permissions for folders on Windows

2024-02-19T02:14:16+00:00

Not sure of what are the circumstances that make this cause problems on Windows, but running this shouldn't be necessary on Windows, since the concept of "execute permissions for directories means traversal permissions" is a Unixism. Fixes #991.
