RE: Linking with Lua the best way

["Jerome Vuarand" <jerome.vuarand@...>]

Google told me it was removed in Lua 5. The correct name is luaL_checknumber. I found that in 5.0.2 sources:
lua-5.0.2/include/lauxlib.h:132:#define luaL_check_number       luaL_checknumber
I guess there it's a compability macro in 5.0 that has been removed in 5.1. luaL_checknumber is ok in 5.0 too, so if you don't need Lua4.x support use the luaL_check* instead of luaL_check_*.

I did that originally, but then some linux package maintainers started complaining that all programs should link dynamically with libraries
:)
Of course, if that's the best bet I'll consider it again.

Specifically it complains about lack of luaL_check_number (and possibly other macros). Some googling told me that this macro have been removed from Lua 5.1.
