Re: Linking LUA with VS 2010

[Stefan Sandberg <keffo.sandberg@...>]

You're trying to link the lua dll import library which was not built with vs 2010?
Where does that library come from, who built it and how?

I'm pretty certain vs 2010 is compatible with itself, so assuming someone else built that library using some other compiler etc,
you need to make sure you/they agree on stuff like calling convention, CRT and so forth.

We use LUA script to let users to customize our server software written in C++.

At the moment we are porting the 32 bits Windows version of our project to Visual Studio 2010.

Once everything works fine with VS 2008, we thought that we would have no problem on upgrade process.

Unfortunately whenever we tried to link the lualib (as dll) to our project in VS 2010, the lua functions could not be found anymore by the linker (the error messages are displayed below). 

It seems that some calling convention is wrong on 2010, like the application may be looking for the lua functions with a prefix '_'.

To access lua functions (written in C) from our project modules (C++) we use this:

extern "C" {

#include "lua/src/lua.h"

#include "lua/src/lualib.h"

#include "lua/src/lauxlib.h"

}

The same project compiles and links with lualib successfully on VS 2008 and Linux (g++).

Could anybody help me with this ?
