Visual c++ and LUA

["funkstar_lua_start" <coner@...>]

Hi guys,

i want to use lua to do some work for me - i use it as a teaching tool
for students but i seem to be stuck using it myself...

Just tried to do something basic
/* file named impcan.cpp*/

#include <lua.h>
#include <lualib.h>
#include <lauxlib.h>

void main() 
{
	int status;
	lua_State *L;
	L = lua_open(1000);
	 lua_baselibopen(L);
	lua_iolibopen(L);
	lua_strlibopen(L);
	lua_mathlibopen(L);
	status = lua_dofile(L,"test.lua");
	printf("Status: %i",status);
	lua_close(L);
}
When i compile it i get no errors but,
when trying to build it i receive the following...

impcan.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl
lua_close(struct lua_State *)" (?lua_close@@YAXPAUlua_State@@@Z)
impcan.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl

lua_State * __cdecl lua_open(int)" (?lua_open@@YAPAUlua_State@@H@Z)
Debug/impcan.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 7 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

impcan.exe - 8 error(s), 0 warning(s)
i haven't used c++ in for a while now an i can't quite remember what
to make of the feedback the building gives...

any input is appreciated...

thanx,
Hansie
