Titan Compiler doesn't run (titan-compiler.location module not found)

[João Victor Oliveira Couto]

Problem

I installed Titan with luarocks for Lua 5.3
But everytime I want to tun compiler, with any file or without a file, appear a error message saying that:

Error

Ask

So, how can I make titanc work?

[Fabio Mascarenhas]

Sorry, the rockspec was missing that file, I am merging a hotfix for that.

[Fabio Mascarenhas]

While the PR with the fix does not get reviewed and merged you can see the changes at #246 and apply them to your local copy

[João Victor Oliveira Couto]

Hi, thanks for fixing that, but now have other problem. I tried to compile a file containing that

 function divmod(a: integer, b: integer): (integer, integer)
    return a // b, a % b
end

local x, y = divmod(13, 2) -- ok
local x, _ = divmod(13, 2) -- ok

function just_div(a: integer, b: integer): integer
    return (divmod(a, b)) -- ok, arity of divmod is adjusted to 1
end 

but when I execute

titanc test.titan

in same directory that saved the file, titan prints many errors, so I tried to do the same thing that you when make the hotfix. And now doesn't show more require errors, I have pulled here #247

but, when I tried to run

titanc examples.sdl_demo -lSDL2

I get this error:

/usr/bin/lua5.3: /usr/local/share/lua/5.3/titan-compiler/coder.lua:2512: bad argument #1 to 'ipairs' (table expected, got nil)

Obviously it should fail in that way because of that, and I will look into fixing the error message, but there is a sdl_quit.titan module missing in the examples folder that sdl_example.titan is trying to import. @hishamhm, could you check that in?

[Hisham Muhammad]

Sure! the file is here: #249
