lua wrapper for C/C++

[reynoldlariza]

does anybody knows how do I incorporate lua into a C or C++ programs?

example:

lua.dll containing maybe an exported function that executes a lua scripts...

int luaScriptExecute(char *Filename);

I wanna do something like this :)

thanks :)

Take a look at the AutoPlay Media Studio 5.0 SDK. It contains quite a bit of information about Lua and C/C++. Going into a full discussion of embedding the Lua engine into your own applications isn't quite as simple as what you are proposing. It's a pretty big job to do it properly!

There is quite a bit of info at the LUA site.

Amazing! that's what i've been thinking! :)

I was thinking of embedding LUA as the engine too.

Ok as you advised, I will look into ths SDK :)

After an hour of google(ing) I found several valuable links/informations too about Lua and how to use it and program with it.

I found this book
http://www.lua.org/pil/

very useful :)

and this one too for using Lua on C/C++ applications:

P.S. Since I'm already here, I like to propose a thread that contains collections of links and resources for LUA, which others may have.

We could use this thread if none objects ;) or anybody could make one

I'll always be visiting this forum for updates ;)

again, thank you very much for a very fast response ! :)
