Lua not working?

[Chaqua]

Steps:

sudo apt-get install lua5.4:i386
./configure --enable-lua
./configure && make && sudo make install

Maybe I am just to dumb to understand the documentation, but when I run ./configure && make && sudo make install it is not able to find my lua.

lua -v output: Lua 5.3.6 Copyright (C) 1994-2020 Lua.org, PUC-Rio

And this is the ouput of ./configure && make && sudo make install: checking for liblua >= 5.2 ... checking for lua... no checking for lua5.4... no checking for lua5.3... no checking for lua5.2... no checking for lua-5.4... no checking for lua-5.3... no checking for lua-5.2... no checking for lua54... no checking for lua53... no checking for lua52... no

What distro? What is the version of your installed lua54-dev?

Im using Ubuntu-WSL on Windows in school. And the version is included in the steps, or do you mean something else?

For building application linking to Lua, you need not only lua53 package (see https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/noble/lua5.3 for the list of generated binary packages), but also liblua5.3-dev.

This probably should be closed.
