====== compile tshark with custom lua ======

Linking with liblua failed.

lua: 5.1.4
wireshark: 1.12.2

1. download lua sources, download wireshark sources;
2. build shared library for lua
Edit Makefile fo building liblua.so.
You'll have to complete src/Makefile. Name the target, add it to the main list, and add a build rule, like this:

    LUA_SO=liblua.so 
    ALL_T= $(LUA_A) $(LUA_T) $(LUAC_T) $(LUA_SO)
    $(LUA_SO): $(CORE_O) $(LIB_O)
        $(CC) -o $@ -shared $?


Also in the main Makefile, have the shared library installed along
with the static one:

    TO_LIB= liblua.a liblua.so


3. run ./configure for wireshark with special flag for linker:

    LDFLAGS="-ldl" ./configure --disable-wireshark --with-lua=/usr/local/
