embedding lua with c

[RAN GREENBERG <ran_greenberg@...>]

hi

i have a problem embedding lua to a c program. i have seen in the archive 3 posts with the same problem and none of them helped me solve my problem.

i downloaded the latest lua source code and compiled and installed it in my linux. it is installed in /usr/include /use/lib correctly . i can run lua scripts correctly.

i copy pasted an example of a simple application that uses lua

#include <lua.h>

#include <lualib.h>

#include <lauxlib.h>

int main()

{

    int s=0;

    lua_State *L = lua_open();

    // load the libs

    luaL_openlibs(L);

    //run a Lua scrip here

    luaL_dofile(L,"test.lua");

    pri ntf("\nI am done with Lua in C++.\n");

    lua_close(L);

    return 0;

}

when compiling with the command

gcc -llua test.cpp

i get 

/tmp/cciNWDif.o: In function `main':

test.cpp:(.text+0x10): undefined reference to `luaL_newstate()'

test.cpp:(.text+0x1d): undefined reference to `luaL_openlibs(lua_State*)'

test.cpp:(.text+0x2b): undefined reference to `luaL_loadfile(lua_State*, char const*)'

test.cpp:(.text+0x47): undefined reference to `lua_pcall(lua_State*, int, int, int)'

test.cpp:(.text+0x5a): undefined reference to `lua_close(lua_State*)'

/tmp/cciNWDif.o:(.eh_frame+0x12): undefined reference to `__gxx_personality_v0'

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

i tried with extern c before the includes and i tr ied putting the liblua.a and the includes locally and compiling my program locally but also failed with the same output

could someone please help me

thanks
