lua-luahpdf fails to install on Mavericks wich macports 2.2.1

[roberto.avanzi@…]

When I try to install lua-luahpdf I obtain following error

ravanzi-mac:build mocenigo$ sudo port install lua-luahpdf
--->  Computing dependencies for lua-luahpdf
--->  Building lua-luahpdf
Error: org.macports.build for port lua-luahpdf returned: command execution failed
Please see the log file for port lua-luahpdf for details:
    /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_lua-luahpdf/lua-luahpdf/main.log
To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:
    http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets
Error: Processing of port lua-luahpdf failed

I am not sure why. May be a CLANG/GCC thing and this leaves something undefined, however I get the following error in the log

hpdf.c:265:17: error: use of undeclared identifier 'LUA_ENVIRONINDEX'
also
hpdf.c:3732:16: error: unknown type name 'luaL_reg'; did you mean 'luaL_Reg'?

and then other commands fail.

In the future, please use WikiFormatting and Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers lua-luahpdf).

Please attach the complete main.log file.

This is due to the upgrade of lua to 5.2, LUA_ENVIRONINDEX doesn't exist anymore. We need to settle the lua question first, probably introducing a lua51 port for compatibility.

Meanwhile you can revert lua to 5.1 using ​these instructions, I understand it's not a smooth solution to the issue but it should allow you to have a working luahpdf while the real problem is solved.

Thank you for the explanation!

Updated to library version 1.5 in r118205, luahpdf now supports lua 5.2.

Tested on Mavericks with XCode 5.1 .
