New server - Is building lua required?

On Windows, but I found out the same thing. I just put a junction (is this symlink in linux?) to EQEMUServer\quests\lua_modules in the base EQEMUServer folder. This saves having to think about copying if anything is updated, too.

So I'll try this link thing, but I still want to know:

- can I build with lua turned off in cmake if ALL my quests are .pl?

If so, then the lua plugin stuff can't be my issue.
