Lua C API.

IMHO this is the only correct answer, if you are new to Lua. Sooner, not later, you are going to run into something that requires you to understand what is going on. Any binding generator is going to be built upon the C API and without a working understanding of how that works, you're likely to be lost.

You'll "get" it quickly. You may hate how tedious it feels at first, but you're likely to get a feel for how to avoid the tediousness or at least understand it, in short order.

To contrast, The C API is simple whereas binding generators attempt to make things easy. Start with simple, if you need to be successful.
