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 !
