Notes for torch maintainers/modders

High-level concepts / tweaks / gotchas

cutorch/cunn

• Be sure to luarocks install FindCUDA prior to doing any cutorch/cunn/cu-other-stuff development. This will mean that builds are incremental, rather than recompiling the entire project each time

rpath

• For Mac OS X, Travis will happily run things just fine, even if you havent configured RPATH, by virtue of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH settings in torch-activate. If you want to replicate behavior on a real Mac, which includes System Integrity Protection activated by default, unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH in travis build, and you can reproduce the weird bugs your users are probably having, and then fix them.

Detailed code analysis

This is a "bit" out-of-date, but might provide some pointers. Or you can update it, and submit a pull request :-)
