Luv is a simple lua binding to libuv, which is now used by neovim lua client. The bundled luv installation a bit different from other dependencies in that it is installed two times: - The "BuildLuv.cmake" script downloads and installs a static version of luv using its normal cmake build script. This static version will be used later. - Luv default rockspec is replaced with the alternate under the "rockspecs" directory(the alternate rockspec plays nicer with neovim build system) - The alternate rockspec is used to build/install the lua module and make it available to lua scripts.
Third party dependencies for neovim
This directory contains the recipes to build any third party dependencies for neovim which, for one reason or another, we cannot rely on the system to supply.
Most of the details are captured in the CMakeLists.txt, but we have a
dedicated directory in case any of the dependencies requires patching and other
support.
