Problems while installing LÖVR on EndeavourOS linux.

Hi, recently I tried to install LÖVR by compiling it from source. I cloned the repo and ran

$ mkdir build

$ cd build

$ cmake ..

$ cmake --build .

Unfortunately, docs don't list what to do after this and probably assume some level of CMake profficiency:
[https://lovr.org/docs/Compiling#linux](https://lovr.org/docs/Compiling#linux)

They say how to run LÖVR with VR, but that's not what I want to do right now.

Now, if i run `lovr` file from bin subdirectory, I get this error:

lovr: /usr/src/debug/glfw/glfw-3.4/src/window.c:868: glfwGetWindowAttrib: Assertion `window != NULL' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

If I run `sudo make install .` I get different error:

CMake Error at luajit/src/cmake_install.cmake:81 (file):
file INSTALL cannot find
"/home/user1/dev/lovr/first_touch/build/luajit/src/luajit": No such file
or directory.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
luajit/cmake_install.cmake:47 (include)
cmake_install.cmake:48 (include)

I do not really use CMake that often and am not fluent in compiling software from source.

What have I done wrong? And what should I do now?

Thanks in advance.

Can a LUA noscript be used to replace a file that is within a ZIP file?

I am very new to this so I apologize if this is a stupid question.

I'm currently designing a Reaper Theme that will have it's own theme adjuster (the adjuster is the lua noscript), and I'm trying to plan ahead a bit and figure out what I should or should not be investing time into.

Something I wanted for the theme is the ability to swap out theme images using the noscript, similar to this noscript (it's called the Theme Assembler which is used in conjunction with the Theme Assembler Theme).

Normally, a theme and all it's files are zipped within a .ReaperThemeZip file (but it doesn't need to be). In order for the Theme Assembler noscript to work however the Theme Assembler theme must be unpacked.

Want I want to know is if it's possible to accomplish the same thing if the theme was in its zipped state with the .ReaperThemeZip. Basically to use a LUA noscript to drop in and replace images within the .ReaperThemeZip.

Help needed - luarocks test --prepare always erroring on Windows

I'm trying to install a package luarocks. Specifically I want to

1. clone my package
2. install all of its dependencies
3. install all of its test_dependencies
4. run the unittests (via busted)

My understanding is that I can do #2 and #3 by calling luarocks test my_package-scm-1.rockspec --prepare and then do #4 with luarocks test --test-type busted. #4 is working fine. My problem is with #3. And possibly #2.

I simply cannot seem to get luarocks test --prepare to run on Windows. It looks like despite the luarocks test --help documentation saying that --prepare does not run any tests and just installs dependencies, it looks like --prepare still actually does run some tests. In my logs I can clearly see Error: test suite failed

This is the GitHub workflow run: https://github.com/ColinKennedy/mega.vimdoc/actions/runs/12772422930/job/35601914793

And the logs are here

And the GitHub workflow file

From what I can guess from reading luarocks source code, it looks like unittests are running for some package, somewhere, and instead of showing the error it's just defaulting to the generic Error: test suite failed error message that can be seen in the logs.

[noob] Replace single space in between non-space characters with wildcard

How to replace a single space (` `) in between non-space characters with `.*`?

I'm writing a simple Lua wrapper (I don't know any programming) to rebuild the string that gets passed to rg (grep alternative) where a single space between non-space characters imply a wildcard. To use a literal space instead of the wildcard), add another space instead (i.e. if the wildcard is not desired and and a literal space is wanted, use 2 spaces to represent a literal space, 3 spaces to represent 2 spaces, etc.).

Example: `a b c d` becomes `a.*b.*c.*d`, `a b c d` becomes `a b.*c.*d`.

I have something like this so far `query:gsub("([^%s])%s([^%s])", "%1.*%2")` but it only results in `a.*b c.*d` (`word word word word` correctly becomes `worda.*wordb.*wordc.*wordd` so I don't understand why) .

-----

For handling literal spaces, I have the following:

local function handle_spaces(str)
str = str:gsub(" +", function(match)
local length = #match
if length > 2 then
return string.rep(" ", length - 1) -- reduce the number of spaces by 1
else
return " " -- for exactly two spaces, return one space
end
end)
return str
end

Import module to use in Lua interactive mode question

I am completely new to Lua. I want to use a lib call eff.lua. By following its instruction, I install this lib using $ luarocks --local install eff. It accomplished installation successfully.

Installing https://luarocks.org/eff-5.0-0.src.rock
eff 5.0-0 is now installed in /home/ubuntu/.luarocks (license: MIT)

However, when attempting to load/ import and use the module in interactive mode after executing the lua command, the lua interactive mode displays errors.

$ lua
Lua 5.1.5 Copyright (C) 1994-2012 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
> require "eff"
> local Write = inst()
stdin:1: attempt to call global 'inst' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
stdin:1: in main chunk
C: ?

I thought it is because the path problem in the first place. The require "eff" looks working. So I am confused.

How can I fix this error? Thanks.

This is driving me crazy. Even with an if else statement I cannot figure out how to evaluate two variables and set one of them. Any help is greatly appreciated

This is what I have:

questionID = 111
-- Get the values from the URL and invite
urlval = urlvalue("reg") inviteval = 'invite("custom 5")'
-- Determine which value to use
if urlval ~= nil and urlval ~= ""then
value = urlval
elseif inviteval ~= nil and inviteval ~= "" then
value = inviteval
else
value = nil
-- Set the value for the question
if value ~= nil then setvalue(questionID, value)
