using luabind
here is just a quick rundown of what i did to get the hello world example here for luabind to work.
here is the example code in c++:
#include <iostream>
#include <luabind/luabind.hpp>
void greet()
{
std::cout << "hello world\n";
}
extern "c" int init(lua_state* l)
{
using namespace luabind;
open(l);
module(l)
[
def("greet", &greet)
];
return 0;
}
then i compiled it into a shared library using the following commands:
g++ -i/usr/include/lua5.1 -fpic -c hello.cpp
g++ -shared -o hello.so hello.o -lluabind
note: luabind has to be linked in the second step, not in the first.
then from lua i ran the following commands:
> init = loadlib("./hello.so", "init")
> init()
> greet()
hello world
