Hi All,

I’m on CentOs 5.11 x86\_64. I’m able to compile haproxy 1.6.7 (Without LUA). I’m able to compile Lua 5.3 (and install both). But when attempting to compile haproxy 1.6.7 w/ Lua, I get the following compile error:

```

```

Any ideas what this could be? Googling wasn’t helpful for this case. Just FYI, I’m just testing with gcc44 above, the same exact issue happens with gcc (4.1).

If I do add -DLUA\_32BITS it **does** compile. But for some reason ld tries to link in 32bit shared libs.

```
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libcrypt.so when searching for -lcrypt
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libcrypt.a when searching for -lcrypt
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libz.so when searching for -lz
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libz.a when searching for -lz

```

Additionally, I really need 64bit numbers, not 32…

-Alex

Replying to myself for future reference. These compile options worked for me:  
USE\_PCRE=1 USE\_OPENSSL=1 USE\_ZLIB=1 USE\_LUA=1 LUA\_LIB\_NAME=lua LDFLAGS=-ldl LUA\_LIB=/usr/lib64/ LUA\_INC=/usr/include/ ARCH=%{\_target\_cpu} TARGET=linux26 ADDLIB=-lz S  
PEC\_CFLAGS="-Wdeclaration-after-statement" DEFINE="-DLUA\_C89\_NUMBERS"

Specifically: **-DLUA\_C89\_NUMBERS**
