"lua/intf/http.lua:80: attempt to call global 'loadstring' (a nil value)" in VLC web interface
Attempting to run the VLC web interface on Mageia Linux x86-64 Cauldron in the latest vlc-2.2.git master tip (commit b8df53b4e344485ffae13d366496247d795df75c ) yields a Lua error in http://localhost:8080/ :

Also see https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16283 . I have built VLC like so:
#!/bin/bash
p="$HOME/apps/vlc-2.2"
export LUAC="/usr/bin/luac5.2"
./configure --prefix="$p" --with-kde-solid="$p/share/apps/solid" --enable-debug
I'll attach the --verbose 2 output soon.
