[Buildroot] [PATCH v4 1/1] ljsyscall: new package

[Danomi Manchego]

An FFI implementation of the Linux and NetBSD kernel ABIs for LuaJIT.

Signed-off-by: Danomi Manchego <danomimanchego123@gmail.com>

---

Note: this package requires LuaJIT specifically, so there is a depends-on
in the ljsyscall/Config.in, even though though it is included from a
menu with a "if BR2_PACKAGE_LUA || BR2_PACKAGE_LUAJIT" test around it.

v3 -> v4:
 - Rebase to master
 - Bump version to 0.9
 - Use github helper for download
 - Account for shared directory

v2 -> v3:
 - Config.in: add depends-on particular target architectures, like LuaJIT.  Note
           that this is not a compile time requirement but rather based on what
           the package itself supports.
 - Config.in: add comment stating when ljsyscall is hidden due to no LuaJIT
 - ljsyscall.mk: simplify ifeq / else ifeq block
 - ljsyscall.mk: use intermediate variable to simplify install lines

v1 -> v2:
 - Removed unnecessary build time dependency on LuaJIT.
 - Specify -m 0644 during installation, since .lua files need not be executable.

Danomi,

I think that the right destination is :
    LJSYSCALL_TARGET_DIR = $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/share/lua/$(LUAINTERPRETER_ABIVER)

1) ljsyscall is designed for LuaJIT and PUC Lua + luaffi
2) the directory usr/share/luajit-2.0.2 seems to be reserved for
LuaJIT itself (see INSTALL_LMOD in luajit.pc)

Looking through the README.md sections that mention Lua, it seems like
the ability to work with non-LuaJIT is not a priority.  E.g., "It now
runs again with luaffi under standard Lua 5.2 (and probably 5.1,
untested)."  ("Runs again" makes it sound like it worked for while,
lost compatibility, and maybe works again - does not inspire
confidence.)  Besides, buildroot does not [currently] have luaffi.  So
I don't think the Lua case is currently an option for a
buildroot-generated system.

but regardless ...

I wasn't aware of that - but the INSTALL_LMOD value does seem to imply
that.  Changing the path to /usr/share/lua wouldn't hurt, as the files
can go any place that luajit will search for them at run time.  So,
okay, I'll test locally and then submit a patch to change this.

Thanks,
Danomi -

Ah, but it easily could.

I have used Lua Alien with 5.1 -
http://alien.luaforge.net/

Which requires libffi -
https://sourceware.org/libffi/

My particular use-case was to interface with binary blobs.

I have not built them with Buildroot, but outside of Buildroot.
So I do not have a BR patch handy to add them.

They required a bit of tweaking library pathnames to support 
a multi-lib (desktop) layout but it should be possible to deal 
with them inside of BR.
