Anything?

tolua++ fails to build because the linker can't find lua.

tolua++ hasn't been touched in a very long time, so it's something to do with your environment.

I have lua installed

Which version of Lua do you have installed? Linked version is the one provided by /usr/local/lib/liblua.so so check with your package manager whether that's the Lua library you expect to link and let me know the version.

The linker says linked Lua library is missing:

• lua_setiuservalue/lua_getiuservalue - added in Lua 5.4
  • toluapp in conky 3rdparty uses lua_setuservalue/lua_getuservalue versions which are available in 5.3
  • this lua version is asserted at configure phase with CMake, so a linking error is very odd unless you're using a patched version of conky
• lua_rotate - added in Lua 5.3

You're trying to compile an older version of conky (1.21.7), do you mind cloning and trying to build the latest version with no modifications? Main should be fine, but try 1.21.9 if you'd prefer a release.
