Build Fails on Mac OSX Lion

[andrewstarks]

This has to do with Apple deprecating everything in openssl.

I've disabled crypto from the make file. When I'm smarter, I'll replace apple's openssl or figure out how to migrate to their blessed replacement.

Perhaps it'd be better to automatically disable encryption in the rock spec or, better yet, use your bigger brain than mine to make it work... :P

The nixio version 0.3 module in luarocks is old and was release by someone else before I created this fork of nixio. I am not sure if the original authors of nixio are still maintaining nixio. It might upset someone if I tried to release a new luarock of nixio. Also I am working on a replacement network IO module lua-llnet, but it doesn't have support for TLS yet. until lua-llnet is ready I will try to maintain this fork of nixio.

For now I have disabled TLS support for Mac OSX. I don't see any easy way to add support for "Common Crypto".

You can install my fork of nixio with luarocks using this command:
luarocks install https://raw.github.com/Neopallium/nixio/master/nixio-scm-0.rockspec

Just tried this - maybe Apple broke things again in Mountain Lion (10.8):

luarocks install https://raw.github.com/Neopallium/nixio/master/nixio-scm-0.rockspec

Error: Build error: Failed building.

No urgency for me, since things work fine on Linux, but thought you might like to know.

Ok, I pushed a change that should fix that compile error.

Mea culpa: got another error, which didn't make sense at all. Diving in a bit deeper, I found out that I had a mix of 5.1 Lua binary and 5.2 headers. I've replaced everything with 5.1.5 and now it compiles just fine. Thank you for following up.
