Ah, I had a look for a package like that but I didn't check the beta/RC
releases, got it now though, thanks.

This all works out, thanks.

I can now use the basic dialogs like iup.Message but I'm having problems
with custom dialogs. The sample.lua5 file fails as do simpiler dialogs like:

dlg = iup.dialog
{
  iup.label{title="bar"}
  ;title="foo"
}
dlg:show()

I've compared the iuplua5exe project with my lua build and they look
identical, all the IUP and iuplua init calls are  made in the same
places and the same libs are linked.

If I just use IupOpen, iuplua_open and iupkey_open, the dialog shows but
does not respond (hour glass when cursor is over the box, does not
respond to clicks), I have to kill the app. If I add in the IUP Controls
libs the app just crashes on the dlg:show() call.
