I'm fairly sure that you need to build and link whole Lua in C++ mode,
not only some files. Are you linking statically or dynamically? With
clang/gcc and CMake all I had to do is to set language and linkage
language to C++, then Lua compiles and works with no extra tweaks as
static library.

What are exact linkage errors? You must not place Lua includes into
`extern "C"` block if you build Lua in C++ mode.
