Compiling Lua 5.11 w/ Visual C++ 2005 Express (fwd)

[dennis@...]

Hello all,


I'm having some difficulty creating a Static Libary (lua.lib) in Visual C++ 
2005 using Lua 5.11 and compiling it from source.

When I compile Lua and get the lua.lib it seems to generate the library.. If I 
use that lib to link with a test program I get the following errors:

luaadd.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _lua_close referenced in 
function _main

unresolved external symbol _lua_settop referenced in function "int __cdecl 
luaadd(int,int)" (?luaadd@@YAHHH@Z)

and a bunch of other errors of missing symbols.


As a test, I downloaded the lua5_1_Win32_vc8.tar and used lua5.1.lib in my test 
program and it linked fine and worked.

What am I doing wrong when I compile the static lib from scratch?

I'm rather confused, as I was able to compile it as an executable and run some 
of the test.lua scripts fine (lua.exe) When I change the option to lib it seems 
it is leaving out some important symbols. Is there something I'm missing 
in the project file?


Thank you for your time,
Dennis
