RE: Advice request to build C functions in a library for Lua5.1 - Success - Thanks

[Crystal Jewels <crystal.jewels@...>]

FAO Jerome and Alex

 

Thank you both very much.

 

The final solution to call:

 

local mylib = require("mylib")

 

in the lua script resulted in a correct return.  Thank you very much.

 

This was successful regardless of whether the compilation included -llua -llualib

 

The reduction in linking to exclude -llua -llualib resulted in a much smaller footprint.

 

The installation is as recently downloaded -v 5.1.1  I was not aware of patch updates.

 

Very many thanks for your assistance.
