Makefile:51: *** Couldn't find Lua libraries. Stop. about tilemaker HOT 7 CLOSED

I think you have luajit installed and liblua5.1-dev but not libluajit-5.1-dev.

Consequently tilemaker will see that you have LuaJIT, try to find its libraries, and fail.

If you do sudo apt install libluajit-5.1-dev then this will install the headers for LuaJIT and it should build happily. (Tested on Ubuntu 20.04.)

OK I removed luajit and installed lua 5.1 and that's fixed it. Either way the list of packages to install is wrong - if its going to include liblua5.1-0-dev then it should also include lua5.1

now it fails on

OK I removed luajit and installed lua 5.1 and that's fixed it. Either way the list of packages to install is wrong - if its going to include liblua5.1-0-dev then it should also include lua5.1

I don't think that's the issue: if you install liblua5.1-0-dev then you get lua5.1 along with it AIUI. The issue is that you'd installed luajit but not libluajit-5.1-dev. tilemaker looks for LuaJIT first (because it's faster than other Luas), so it was trying to use that, but you hadn't installed the development headers.

Detecting Lua, and all the various places it can be installed, from the simple environment of a Makefile is hard. If you want to use an unusual setup (i.e. LuaJIT binary but no headers, Lua 5.1 binary and headers) then the CMake build will do a better job of that.

now it fails on
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

It's not failing to build, it's just failing to get the tilemaker version number (which it gets from a git tag) - I'm guessing you're building from a downloaded zip rather than a git clone? Regardless, if you let it build then it will be fine.

I'd run the apt install list in the docs - it looks like installing the dev package on 22.04 doesn't include the run time

Wow, that's curious. Ok, I'll take a look at the README - thanks.

I did a make clean and it all worked OK - so I guess something got left behind

Excellent - glad it's working!
