i've been stuck on this problem for hours, without finding any solutions. I'm currently trying to compile lua 5.3.4 for Emscripten for use in my project. ive hit a roadblock thought, I need to compile it to a liblua.a file which ill later use when doing the emcc command line. but theres problems. heres the console output and what i do. ive gotten it to output .o files already. how do i put these in the .a (since i assume thats what its doing)
E:\code\liblua>make generic CC="emcc -s WASM=1"
cd src && make generic
make[1]: se ingresa al directorio `E:/code/liblua/src'

make (e=2): El sistema no puede encontrar el archivo especificado. (system cannot find the specified file)
make[1]: *** [liblua.a] Error 2
make[1]: se sale del directorio `E:/code/liblua/src'
make: *** [generic] Error 2
what it says is that it cant find ar rcu, how do i use it on my system?
for reference, the system im trying to use can be found here https://github.com/vvanders/wasm_lua if its required
It looks like the makefile requires Un*x tools so I suggest:
sudo apt install g++ binutils make libc-binsudo apt install build-essentiallua distribution (as yourself, not the root user) somewhere in your home directory and try building.
