LuaRocks is a deployment and management system for Lua modules, and supports
-various +build.type+: +builtin+, +make+ and +cmake+. In the contetx of
+various +build.type+: +builtin+, +make+ and +cmake+. In the context of
Buildroot, the +luarocks-package+ infrastructure only supports the +builtin+
mode. LuaRocks packages that use the +make+ or +cmake+ build mechanisms
should instead be packaged using the +generic-package+ and +cmake-package+
The main macro of the LuaRocks package infrastructure is +luarocks-package+:
like +generic-package+ it works by defining a number of variables providing

is worth mentioning that building LuaRocks packages for the host is not
supported, so the macro +host-luarocks-package+ is not implemented.
For example, 'OpenGL ES' is an API for 2D and 3D graphics on embedded systems.
The implementation of this API is different for the 'Allwinner Tech Sunxi' and

==== +virtual-package+ tutorial
* The first solution is *Static using device table*. This is the old
classical way of handling device files in Linux. With this method,
the device files are persistently stored in the root filesystem
- (i.e. they persist accross reboots), and there is nothing that will
+ (i.e. they persist across reboots), and there is nothing that will
automatically create and remove those device files when hardware
devices are added or removed from the system. Buildroot therefore
creates a standard set of device files using a _device table_, the
possible to use this option). When mounted in +/dev+, this virtual
filesystem will automatically make _device files_ appear and
disappear as hardware devices are added and removed from the
- system. This filesystem is not persistent accross reboots: it is
+ system. This filesystem is not persistent across reboots: it is
filled dynamically by the kernel. Using _devtmpfs_ requires the
following kernel configuration options to be enabled:
+CONFIG_DEVTMPFS+ and +CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT+. When Buildroot is in
charge of building the Linux kernel for your embedded device, it
makes sure that those two options are enabled. However, if you
build your Linux kernel outside of Buildroot, then it is your
- responsability to enable those two options (if you fail to do so,
+ responsibility to enable those two options (if you fail to do so,
your Buildroot system will not boot).
* The third solution is *Dynamic using mdev*. This method also relies

xref:requirement-optional[]).
