Re: Linking Issues

[Peter Shook <pshook@...>]

You need to include lualib.h to convert from the old names to the new ones:

 lua_baselibopen	luaopen_base
 lua_tablibopen	luaopen_table
 lua_iolibopen	luaopen_io
 lua_strlibopen	luaopen_string
 lua_mathlibopen	luaopen_math
 lua_dblibopen	luaopen_debug
