I asked this question recently already in the software forum, but no one seemed to be able to point me in the right direction. So I'm sorry if I'm breaking a forum rule, but this one really has me stumped! Of course, I could build conky without lua support, but I'm not ready to throw in the towel and admit defeat. There must be a way!
So basically, for the past few days I've been trying to build conky with lua support, also cairo and imlib2. All of these packages (lua, cairo, imlib2) are installed on my system (Slackware 14.0 x86_64). I however, cannot install tolua++ nor can I get conky to build with lua support.
When I try to build either tolua++ or conky with LUA="yes" I get this error:

scons: *** [bin/tolua++_bootstrap] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.
So what I gather from this error is that it's looking at the 32bit version of liblua.so when it should be looking at the 64bit or vice versa. What I don't understand about this error is that it claims to be looking at both /lib and /lib64 versions of liblua.so.
Code:
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-slackware-linux/4.7.1/../../../../x86_64-slackware-linux/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/../lib64/liblua.so when searching for -llua

So if neither the 64bit nor the 32bit are what this source is expecting to be linked to, what other options do I have?
That is the main problem I am having. I also mentioned having installed cairo and imlib2. Installing cairo was a huge pain (read: dependency hell) but I managed to get it to build without error. As for imlib2 I built it with the slackbuild and did the necessary installpkg to get the package installed. However, as should be expected nothing ever goes according to plan. Running ./configure from the conky-1.9 source directory tells me that it doesn't see either cairo or imlib2.

The relevant part under Lua bindings is at the bottom. What's curious about this to me is that the ./configure script sees that I have lua installed. Running make returns the incompatibility error same as above for tolua++. So I guess my question is, what am I doing wrong here, or what am I missing? I realize that tolua++ should be build before conky, but other than that, what am I not getting about this?
Cairo was built from source, lua and imlib2 were installed from the slackbuils. I also used convertpkg-compat32 to create the x86 versions. The version of tolua++ I am trying to install is also a slacbuild but as mentioned above will not build or create the package because of the error.
Just for good measure, I'll show you that I do have the libraries installed.
Thank you for the input, but I already have scons and lua. As for not needing to build cairo, I suppose it's too late because I did it anyway. But I have scons, and I'm trying to build tolua++ from the slackbuild. And I do have lua.
If you are a lazy guy like me just go to the above and get the package. He also has a compat32 conky.
I am using both the 32 & 64 bit versions with no problems. I could never get tolou from slackbuilds to work.
I understand that it was probably my fault but that is how it was done for me.
Is there an i486 audacious package, or an option I'm not aware of to run conky without support for libaudcore.so? This seems to have gotten me one step closer though, and for that, I thank you.
I can confirm that you should be able to build conky if you have all dependencies installed correctly. I've build conky yesterday and it did build and works fine on Slackware 14 x86_64. I've used the slackbuilds versions.

To enable lua scripting engine support, you will need lua, imlib2, and
tolua++, and run this script like this: LUA=yes ./conky.SlackBuild
I think that you complicate things uselessly trying to mix 32 and 64 bits as you should stay with 64 bits.
Also, why install cairo from source as it is included in Slackware (provided you made a full Slackware installation, of course).
So just uninstall you "custom" cairo (but then re-install the regular Slackware package for cairo) and buld and install in order using only slackbuilds from slackbuilds.org following packages:
scons
tolua++
imlib2
lua
conky (with "LUA=yes")
As JackHair told you this works for 64 bit (and for 32 bit as well, as I just checked). And slackbuilds detect the architecture themseleves, just let them do their job.
You don't need any alien package like tolua-dev, in Slackware, all packages include the development libraries if they exist.
I still don't know why you compiled manually cairo, but why not? Whatever the reason the results could be different when installing theSlackware package for it, because you didn't check that you gave the same options to configure.
Let's take an example. You configured manually conky (dunno why either as it's done by the slackbuild, but again, why not). You stated in the first post of this thread:

as you didn't undestand why you saw this in ./configure's output:
Code:
* Lua (yes) bindings:
Cairo: no
Imlib2: no
So I guess that you didn't type "./configure --help", which states:
Code:
--enable-lua-imlib2 enable if you want Lua Imlib2 bindings for Conky
[default=no]
--enable-lua-cairo enable if you want Lua Cairo bindings for Conky
[default=no]
But in the SlackBuild these options are enabled if you set LUA to yes.

I have since migrated to using the slackbuild for conky.
Code:
bash-4.2# ls
README conky.SlackBuild conky.SlackBuild~ doinst.sh
conky-1.9.0.tar.bz2 conky.SlackBuild.original conky.info slack-desc
And I do have LUA=yes enabled in the slackbuild.
Here is what ./conky.SlackBuild returns and this is what I am trying to troubleshoot:

Cairo is not the problem here, nor is lua. Yes in the first post I was worried about cairo and lua, and your last post does explain why they weren't seen. But now I am using the slackbuild and I have a new problem, specifically, I cannot get past the last line:
