hi all,

I'm trying to learn d and a little bit of lua too. Some places I've found lua "bindings" for d. Am I mistaken in thinking this will let me call lua scripts from my d program?

I'm having trouble understanding what to do with these .d files and .lib files (which I assume are gotten through implib used on the original lua dll's?)

I loaded a graphics utility with LoadLibraryA() and am wondering why I am told to use a different method to get lua to work.

Thanks in advance.

I think those are for Lua 5.0, if you want Lua 5.1 you can check out my bindings: http://code.google.com/p/dlua/

There's even a static Lua library for dmd compiled with dmc in case you don't want any DLL's lying around. There's also an import library in case you don't mind them.

The Lua API is the same in D, so you can pretty much follow the "programming in lua" sections on the C API and then just adapt that code to D (which is pretty simple).

I'm trying that and I'm getting a compile error saying
luaL_register(...
and lua_dostring(..
symbols unrecognized or something. This is after the fix to your example provided oct. 3. do i need to modify the declaration for those in lua.d in some way?

I trying to do this on windows, if it means anything.

I'm learning a lot, so thanks. But I'm barely treading water so your help is greatly appreciated.

Any idea when 0004 might be ready (using 0003)? Seems it might address these issues.

Maybe you aren't using the import libraries, I mostly used it on Linux and didn't really have any issues. I know I've used it on Windows though, and all it needed was the lua51.lib added to the dmd command line.

For 0004 you could just use SVN... it was ages ago I touched any of this stuff :-(

Any updates here?
