I am using a Cygwin environment with the Lua Interpreter package included during cygwin installation. Therefore, I can compile and run lua programs. But when I try to execute a sample c file that has lua calls, I always get the following error.
$ cc -o ../samples/ctest -Wall ../samples/ctest.c
/tmp/ccOYgLj4.o:ctest.c:(.text+0x2b): undefined reference to `_luaL_newstate'
/tmp/ccOYgLj4.o:ctest.c:(.text+0x3d): undefined reference to `_luaL_openlibs'
/tmp/ccOYgLj4.o:ctest.c:(.text+0x59): undefined reference to `_luaL_loadfile'
/tmp/ccOYgLj4.o:ctest.c:(.text+0x82): undefined reference to `_lua_pcall'
/tmp/ccOYgLj4.o:ctest.c:(.text+0xb8): undefined reference to `_lua_getfield'
/tmp/ccOYgLj4.o:ctest.c:(.text+0xd5): undefined reference to `_lua_call'
/tmp/ccOYgLj4.o:ctest.c:(.text+0xf0): undefined reference to `_lua_close'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
My example ctest.c file contents:
#include <stdio.h>
#include "lua.h"
#include "lualib.h"
#include "lauxlib.h"
lua_State* l;
int main () {
int dofile;
l = lua_open();
luaL_openlibs(l);
dofile = luaL_dofile(l, "hello.lua");
if (dofile == 0) {
lua_getglobal(l,"foo");
lua_call(l,0,0);
}
else {
printf("Error, unable to run hello.lua\n");
}
lua_close(l);
return 0;
}
hello.lua file contents:
print("from c hurray")
when searching the web wherever they talk about some linker error, and should include -llua51. So I tried the following.
$ cc -o ../samples/ctest -Wall -llua5.1 ../samples/ctest.c
/tmp/cc3v5Nim.o:ctest.c:(.text+0x2b): undefined reference to `_luaL_newstate'

$ ls /usr/lib/liblua*.a

Can you help me fix this problem and run my first lua c firmware?
Update:
$ cc -o ctesing -Wall ctesting.c -llua5.1

However, I get only these errors :(
