Re: Simple embedded hello world C example for 5.1

[Wink Saville <wink@...>]

Yes, I actually had that but thought it was more straight forward

to not to have to do the install. But for completeness

after the "make install" the command line is:

  $ gcc hello_world.c -o hello_world -llua -ldl -lm

All of the examples I found on the internet didn't work for me.

I'd also suggest including the command line to compile,
as that was also not obvious. Below is what worked for
me on my Linux box.


Make the linux version:
 $ make linux

make install

then you can simplify your command line

Add the hello_world.c program below to the root of lua source tree
and compile:
 $ gcc hello_world.c -o hello_world -I src/ -L src -llua -ldl -lm
