It means that luaopen_lxp functions is not exported from your lxp.dll
file. How to do that depends on how you built lxp.dll. As the function
is not defined with __declspec(dllexport) nor has any *_API macro in
front of its definition, you need to build the dll using the provided
lxp.def file. Here again how to use it depends on how you compile lxp.
With Visual C++ for example, you have to add the option /def:lxp.def to
your link command.
