[feature request] Allow building with shared lua

[ofry]

First and foremost consider this:

• Only RetroArch bugs should be filed here. Not core bugs or game bugs
• This is not a forum or a help section, this is strictly developer oriented

Description

Allow building with shared lua (instead of baked-in) for debugging purposes.

Expected behavior

Should be option in configure script

Actual behavior

$ ./configure --help

I have no way to test a shared lua and that PR was ignored...

Is it enough for test?

[orbea]

Testing it during the build is no problem for me, testing it during runtime is. I think its only used for the new cheevos implementation and I haven't used that before (Or the old cheevos).

[orbea]

I rebased my branch and found it doesn't build with lua51, but it does with lua52. I'll look to see if lua53 builds as well tomorrow.

https://github.com/orbea/RetroArch/commit/3ad7c92f786f0160e511cd0487ce022122ab31c7

If you want to test it you need ./configure --enable-new_cheevos --enable-lua --disable-builtinlua.

I'm not sure which package of those you want, I haven't gotten around to hooking up lua53 yet either. Lua upstream doesn't provide a .pc file and forces all distros to do it for them downstream so it could be the maintainer for arch neglected to do that and that will have to be worked around?

This package is the one that currently builds here in Slackware linux and my branch.

I think script should check lua 5.1 and 5.3 too...

[orbea]

Lua 5.1 is apparently not supported and won't build. I just haven't gotten to trying lua 5.3 yet.

@orbea I'm not see any info about supported Lua versions in https://github.com/RetroAchievements/rcheevos repo.

Its using features that are not included with lua51, I spent sometime trying to improve qb.libs.sh to be able to check more than one pkgconfig file or library versions, but I ran into complications with check_lib... Its going to be a little tricky.
