Help request for vlc build.

[macerg]

I'm trying to build a new vlc implementation for termux.
Yes, I am aware of the "it's pointless" 3.14 version but I want a build a vlc with x11 support.

I get the following error complaining about "no lua support' during ./configure
checking for lua5.2... no configure: WARNING: No package 'lua5.2' found, trying lua 5.1 instead checking for lua5.1... no configure: WARNING: No package 'lua5.1' found, trying lua >= 5.1 instead checking for lua >= 5.1... no configure: WARNING: No package 'lua' found, trying manual detection instead checking lua.h usability... no checking lua.h presence... no checking for lua.h... no checking lauxlib.h usability... no checking lauxlib.h presence... no checking for lauxlib.h... no checking lualib.h usability... no checking lualib.h presence... no checking for lualib.h... no checking for luaL_newstate in -llua5.2 ... yes configure: error: Could not find lua. Lua is needed for some interfaces (rc, telnet, http) as well as many other custom scripts. Use --disable-lua to ignore this error

This shows lua5* installed
`

Help much appreciated, thanks.
