Cannot build: digital envelope routines::unsupported

[rweichler]

Tried this on FreeBSD (arm64) and macOS (arm64)

I googled "digital envelope routines" unsupported and found this stackoverflow post which suggests this is because of some recent security concern

$ webpack-cli build
node:internal/crypto/hash:79
  this[kHandle] = new _Hash(algorithm, xofLen, algorithmId, getHashCache());
                  ^

Node.js v22.8.0

Workaround:

NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider yarn install

I did some digging and found this stackoverflow post which seems to indicate that webpack was using md4 for hashing (i assume this is for incremental builds) and apparently they decided it was insecure so they deprecated it. I would be tempted to switch off of webpack.... maybe to esbuild or something like this:

let Dependency = (function() {
#include "dependency.js"
})();
console.log('hello world');

gcc -E -x c -P in.js > out.js

Just my 2¢. I bring this up because it doesnt seem like you have many dependencies and are mainly using webpack to combine everything into a single script. Plus, it would resemble the original Lua source a bit more haha.
