[vlc-devel] [PATCH] Configure: find LUAC in srcdir/bin, rather than in contrib dir. If contribs were built using a prefix, ${CONTRIB_DIR} will point to that prefix and ${CONTRIB_DIR}/../bin will be an invalid location where to find luac.

That is what I don't understand. AFAIK, the Lua "cross-compiler" is output by contribs into $top_srcdir/contrib/bin as $tripplet-luac always.
