Install vim with lua support on ubuntu 16.04
I needed to install vim with lua support because I wanted to use neocomplete in my recently installed 15.04 distro. Also, this has python3 enabled by default.
Tested on 16.04 now
Update: This has been tested and verified to work on Ubuntu 16.04 as well. Also, if you wish to use particular branch/tag, you can get the version and then checkout appropriately.
The following (based upon https://gist.github.com/jdewit/9818870) should work though I copied it from history:
sudo apt-get remove --purge vim vim-runtime vim-gnome vim-tiny vim-common vim-gui-common
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/share/vim /usr/bin/vim /usr/local/bin/vim
sudo apt-get build-dep vim-gnome
sudo apt-get install build-essential liblua5.3-0 liblua5.3-dev python3-dev python-dev ruby-dev libperl-dev libncurses5-dev libgnome2-dev libgnomeui-dev libgtk2.0-dev libatk1.0-dev libbonoboui2-dev libcairo2-dev libx11-dev libxpm-dev libxt-dev
sudo mkdir /usr/include/lua5.3/{include,lib}
sudo cp /usr/include/lua5.3/*.h /usr/include/lua5.3/include/
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblua5.3.so /usr/include/lua5.3/lib/liblua.so
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblua5.3.a /usr/include/lua5.3/lib/liblua.a
