[Bug 1804865] [NEW] Lua dynamic libraries isn't enabled

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Andreas Rönnquist (gusnan):

SciTE in ubuntu 18.04 has the Lua library embedded, and compiled without
dynamic libraries enabled. This makes it impossible to load Lua modules
which is in the dynamic library on SciTE >= 4.0, when it started using
Lua 5.3.

On later versions (SciTE >= 4.1.0) I have built Lua without using the
embedded Lua library but using Debian-packaged shared object instead,
and there this isn't a problem. (I am one of the Debian maintainers of
SciTE).

This leaves the version in 18.04, where this still is a problem.

See upstream bug at 
https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/2058/

for a patch. Another alternative is to backport version 4.1.0 or later
to Ubuntu 18.04.
