[Buildroot] Python / Lua socket programming

[Buildroot] Python / Lua socket programming

[Leonardo Giordano]

Hi, I am trying to have an easy programming (or scripting) language. I 
have both Lua and Python compiled with buildroot. However, I don't know 
how to enable socket programming. I mean:
For python, it should have a socket module but it is not. I do "import 
socket" but is says it is not present. Maybe is a path problem?
For lua, I should add luasocket library but I don't know how.

Any comments?

Regards,

You'll need to build lua first, then luasocket as another package, independently.
luasocket relies on lua headers/libs. You'll probably need to fix some
paths in lua(socket) in order for luasocket to find lua stuff inside the
buildroot.

these steps might help:
cd lua-5.1.3
make linux
make install INSTALL_TOP=/home/hinkok/Desktop/lua/out
cd ../luasocket-2.0.2
LUAINC=-I/home/hinkok/Desktop/lua/out/include INSTALL_TOP_SHARE=/home/hinkok/Desktop/lua/out/share INSTALL_TOP_LIB=/home/hinkok/Desktop/lua/out/lib/lua/5.1 make
make install INSTALL_TOP_SHARE=/home/hinkok/Desktop/lua/out/share INSTALL_TOP_LIB=/home/hinkok/Desktop/lua/out/lib/lua/5.1

Hinko,
I will try it. I haven't downloaded luasocket yet.
Best regards,
