Compile VLC failing on luac 32-bits needed

Question

Trying to build VLC using the build steps outlined in https://wiki.videolan.org/OSXCompile/ but am failing on luac needing to be 32 bit. Uninstalled lua and reinstalled a bunch, no option to specify a 32 bit install with lua. Am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

I have a similar problem for compiling vlc-android. I am using 64bit Arch system, and I could not find 32bit lua or 32bit lua runtime.

As a temporary workaround, I simply disabled lua

./configure --disable-lua

then run either make or compile

make

or

./compile

I am still searching 32bit lua to install on my 64bit Arch, even though multilib is enabled in my pacman configuration
