Hi, I try to package the IUP toolkit. The build system is fairly weird, but in cooperation with the upstream project manager I think I know the steps necessary to package it. It would need a custom environment variable LUA_CPATH set to something matching the installed lib. Afaik this would be something the user would need to do manually, which I'd like to avoid.
The IUP project manager suggested that a symlink might do the trick instead: iuplua.so -> libiuplua51.so
Is this something sensible to do? yes and if you ever need to set environment variables you can add a custom script in /etc/profile.d, no user intervention is required.
