Re: noob - How to architect c++ code to use lua as external code

[Giuliano Suminsky <yksnimus@...>]

Hi,

Theres any lib/package that does the binding in real time? Like just create a lua state, send to lua all stuff you want, and then runs the script...Im not interested on creating dlls, or whatever, Im interested in just linking class objects data to lua, so I can make the callbacks possible, like Kevin Martin suggested..

Looks like Luna does what I want, am I right? Any other recommendation? LuaBind looks bloated of overhead, so I discarded it..

Ah, you want it known at compile time. That does change matters. Never
mind, then.
