I am confused. The default makefile defines LUA_COMPAT_5_2 which in turn
defines LUA_COMPAT_APIINTCASTS which in turn re-enables luaL_optint.
However when linking with the library, which is default compiled, it
errors due to luaL_optint being undefined.

I also fail to understand the manual which states, "Macros to project
non-default integer types (luaL_checkint, luaL_optint, luaL_checklong,
luaL_optlong) were deprecated. Use their equivalent over lua_Integer
with a type cast (or, when possible, use lua_Integer in your code). "

Use their equivalent what?
