make: *** [vis] Error 1

I installed lua 5.3.0 or 5.4.1 got the same error, lua is installed by compile source

[Marc André Tanner]

This is because the vis build system by default tries to create a position independent executable, but your static Lua library is not compiled position independently.

Either remove the -pie flag from vis' config.mk or preferably build the Lua library position independently by adding the appropriate flags.

[rickywu]

use 'make MYCFLAGS="-fPIC" linux' to build lua
