Install using LuaRocks failed within cmake

[iar74]

Hi,

I am trying to install LRDB via lua rocks (v2.4.3).
It finds the rockspec, clones from github (7144514) but failes within cmake:

CMake Error at luarocks_cmake.txt:36 (install):
install Library TARGETS given no DESTINATION!
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:2 (include)

The respective line is:

install(TARGETS lrdb_server LIBRARY DESTINATION ${INSTALL_LIBDIR})

Seems to me that INSTALL_LIBDIR is not expanded to any value.

Now, I am not the expert when it comes to LuaRocks, is this a variable to be provided by lua-rocks? Or so I set this when installing lua rocks?

Any hint would be appreciated!

Dug a little deeper. Seems to be a cmake problem.
I am using cmake 3.9.4 on windows.

Changing luarocks_cmake.txt:l.36f from:

install(TARGETS lrdb_server LIBRARY DESTINATION ${INSTALL_LIBDIR})

to

install(TARGETS lrdb_server
ARCHIVE DESTINATION ${INSTALL_LIBDIR}
LIBRARY DESTINATION ${INSTALL_LIBDIR})

builds it without error. Seems it is mocking about the link lib that is not placed anywhere without the archive.

However, I still need to figure out how to actually install it, as I built it off a local copy of lrdb.

Easy to reproduce: having luarocks installed, go to the root directory of lrdb, type "luarocks make".
