Hello fellow game developers.

I'm working on this engine which is pretty good so far and it's going pretty well and I am trying to implement Lua.

The problem is that I'm using Code::Blocks and I have linked the includes and libs and everything but I keep getting "undefined reference" errors and I have googled and googled but I found nothing.

I have also included my lua files with extern "C".

Do you guys have any ideas on why this problem would occur, other than i'm stupid.

Also there is nothing wrong with my code, I've researched and it all looks fine to me.

I may not know, try compiling the libraries for the compiler you are using or try getting the right libraries, i use luabind, are you using plain lua? I may know no further :P

I'm not using luabind or any binding libraries, I'm just new to lua and I want to implement them to the engine I once had before I decided to rewrite it so it can be, well, more like an engine.

How would I set up lua correctly to Code::Blocks?

Oh and I'm so sorry for the very late reply, I completely forgot about this post.

Hmm I don't know much about Code::Blocks but this site helped me implement Lua scripts into my engine maybe it can help you. http://gamedevgeek.com/tutorials/gettin ... d-with-lua

usually lua comes with .lib files which codeblocks can't use so create a new static lib project and add the lua files to it and build it. then link the lib you just built. make sure to build it in relaease... actually idk if it matters but that's what I did. you should get the file liblua.a and you link it with -llua

Generally an undefined reference has to do with incorrect linking so your code may be correct but you didn't specify the paths to link to the libraries.

Thats a very nice tut, thanks i've bookmarked it for later

Yeah that's what I used when I first set up Lua. Practically the only decent one available. Definitely worthy of posting.

You're DEFINITELY not linking to the library correctly.

Nah it's fine now.

I just compiled Lua myself into a .a file rather than a .lib and it's working fine.

Thanks guys.
