help please? lauc.exe link errors, 5.1 source/win32?

["Thomas Blom" <fredrikaustin@...>]

Hello all,

I'm just getting started with Lua.  I want to use it to execute scripts  
from my C++ apps.

I downloaded (the official, I presume) 5.1 source from the link at  
lua.org.  I'm able to compile all the .c files to a dll/lib, and can  
compile lua.c and link it with the lib to create a working lua.exe  
interpreter.

However, my attempts to build the compiler (luac.exe) by compiling  
luac.c/print.c and linking to the lib produce these link errors:

C:\lang\lua-5.1\src>link /out:luac.exe luac.obj print.obj lua51.lib
Microsoft (R) Incremental Linker Version 7.10.3077

print.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _luaP_opnames  
referenced in function _PrintCode
luac.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 8 unresolved externals

All .c files were compiled with the same (minimal) options, as given in  
the luavs.bat example that is part of the source distribution:

cl /O2 /W3 /c /DLUA_BUILD_AS_DLL luac.c print.c

I've tried omitting the ...DLL switch here, which toggles  
declspec(import/export) but errors are the same regardless.

I'm building with the .net 2003 version of the ms tools.

Anyone already done this/fixed this?

thanks -thomas
