install wget-lua on osx

wget-lua.sh

brew install lua5.1
curl http://warriorhq.archiveteam.org/downloads/wget-lua/wget-1.14.lua.LATEST.tar.bz2 | tar -xj --strip-components=1
sed -i -e s=usr/include/lua5.1=usr/local/include/lua5.1=g configure.ac
./configure
make 
cp src/wget /usr/local/bin/wget-lua

wget-lua --help|grep lua

Usage: wget-lua [OPTION]... [URL]...
       --lua-script=FILE   load the Lua script from FILE.

brew install lua5.1 should be changed to brew install lua51 due to homebrew renaming packages

I created a Homebrew formula so now this can be fully automated with:

brew install wget-lua 

Just pasta this formula here: /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core/Formula/wget-lua

Thank you for this gist! For anyone coming here in 2023, creating the formula file alone wasn't sufficient; I had to run brew create ... per the Formula Cookbook.

Additionally, since my Homebrew installation is somewhere other than /usr/local/include, I needed to change the two inreplace lines to refer to "#{HOMEBREW_PREFIX}/include/lua-5.1" instead.
