Re: About to give up on Lua....!

[Chris Perkins <cperkins@...>]

I have Lua working in an OS X app.  Rather than build a shared library I just incorporated the Lua sources.   Use the sources for Lua and the libraries, but don't use [luac]/luac.c  or [lua]/lua.c, as those are for building the standalone or the compiler.

I'm using CodeWarrior as well, and it runs like a champ.  

Hope this helps,
