Hi,<div>It works now thanks.</div><div><br></div><div>I finally managed to compile a working lua plugin on my system the only problem I had is that the pkg-config package is called "lua" for me with 5.1 as its version, I tried to change the <a href="http://configure.in">configure.in</a> script to handle both cases but I gave up after half an hour on this and simply changed the lines on my local branch:</div>
<div><br></div><div>$PKG_CONFIG --exists lua5.1 2>/dev/null</div><div>becomes</div><div>$PKG_CONFIG --exists "lua >= 5.1" 2>/dev/null</div><div><br></div><div>I have working read and write callbacks as well as a dispatch_notification method and I am working on notification callback, I implemented read/write callbacks the way I intended to:</div>
<div>The plugins can define a function with a specific name which, if defined, will be called by the lua plugin on these events, now the question I want to ask is do you really think the added complexity of the C code is really worth what it brings to the lua side ? (there are something like 80 lines differences and the complexity is in no way comparable)</div>
<div>Here is and example with both ways of doing it: <a href="https://gist.github.com/719001">https://gist.github.com/719001</a></div><div>case1 is yours, case2 is mine.</div><div><br></div><div>While I am really thankful for the help on the build system problems I can have and will surely continue to have and on other matters I asked help for I am more than disappointed by the way you took over my plugin, to give you a concrete example of how I feel: I asked you for help painting a wall and you ended changing my doors and adding a wall in the middle of my living room :p</div>
<div>I am not angry at you (and I hope you won't be at me for being so direct) in any way but i want to work myself on my plugin, even if it means struggling with some problems you could solve in 5min due to my lack of knowledge on the collectd internals.</div>
<div><br></div><div>It is really nice that you are always there to provide help but if you could just refrain yourself a little I would be far more at ease :)</div><div>(I am not speaking about fixes and improvements on my code here but additions which do not go where I wanted te plugin to go)</div>

</div>I did some digging and apparently Mac OS X really doesn't have<br>
clock_gettime(2), it's not just a special define required or something<br>
like that.<br>
<br>
I implemented a fallback using gettimeofday(2) which, hopefully, is<br>
available everywhere. That function has been deprecated, so it *must* be<br>
in widespread use, right? ;)<br>
<br>
Hope this helps :)<br>
