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

[Bradley Smith <gmane@...>]

Alternatively, change mylib.c from:

LUALIB_API int luaopen_mylib (lua_State *L){
  lua_newtable(L);
  luaL_register(L, NULL, mylib);
  return 1;
}

to:

LUALIB_API int luaopen_mylib (lua_State *L){
  luaL_register(L, "mylib", mylib);
  return 1;
}

and use the following script:

#!/usr/bin/env lua

package.cpath = "./?.so;" .. package.cpath
require("mylib")
print "\nHello World\n"
-- call a C function and send a number
local indicator = mylib.prin(1)
print("The result is ", indicator)
