Following the instructions, after `make build` I get “No rule to make target 'lua/lapi.c', needed by 'lua/lapi.o'. Stop.”.
I’m now reading more, and it will probably be some easy thing.
My advice would be to have some compact list of steps to get it up and running from source without having to install binaries. I think that would make it easier to try out.
I’ll now continue trying to figure out what’s missing.
