Michael : I am working with the two underscores (just tried with one to
make sure), but thanks for confirming.
Petr : I do use __declspec (otherwise it wouldn't even work with
package.loadlib ? I suppose ?)

Don't forget, that on Windows luaopen_* function should be exported
either using
"__declspec(dllexport)" or using .def file. Try to declare your
function like
something like this "__declspec(dllexport) int
luaopen__IupRobotLib(lua_State *L)".
