Re: Advice request to build C functions in a library for Lua5.1

Yes, thank you I had already removed -llua and -llualib after consulting

http://lua-users.org/wiki/BuildingModules

however I did not obtain any advantage and so left them in.  The error remained.

 

I accept that doing this results in a much tighter library with a smaller footprint and thank you for your advice.

 

Currently I still experience a failure using require with a reported failure to index.

 

Thanks

You should not link your extensions with the Lua library.
Instead, link the Lua interpreter in way that makes it exports its
symbols.
