AW: Visual C++ ver 5 Link Error

["Dirk Ringe" <dirk.ringe@...>]

I think you are compiling a C++ program. Lua is written for C so you have to
do the following

extern "C" {
#include "lua.h"
}

main ()
{
	lua_open ();
	lua_close ();
}

Betreff: Visual C++ ver 5 Link Error



When I try to compile a win32 app
with lua embedded in it I get the error message {unresolved external symbol
"void __cdecl lua_open(void)} in Linking stage


All I do is that in win32 console app:

#include "lua.h"

main()
{
  lua_open();
  lua_close();
}

and declaring the lua.lib in the settings/link tab.


what's wrong ?

Can I use the DLL files instead ?

PS: I am new in the Visual C but I have a great experience in Dos/Pascal

Thanx.
