There are a lot more binding options than that. See [1], and for a
review of a few of the more mature ones, including related drawbacks
that I encountered, see [2].
The TL;DR is that I didn't like any of the binding options in the end --
especially SWIG. By far the most robust and complete was LuaBind; none
of the others came close to supporting what I needed. But LuaBind
created too much code (from template bloat).
