lua 5.2.1未解决的外部因素

Question

I'm using visual studio 2012 and when I try to compile, I get following errors:

Error   7   error LNK1120: 6 unresolved externals   C:\Users\MS\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\LuaTest\Release\LuaTest.exe   LuaTest
Error   4   error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _lua_close    C:\Users\MS\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\LuaTest\LuaTest\main.obj  LuaTest

Error   3   error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _luaopen_base C:\Users\MS\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\LuaTest\LuaTest\main.obj  LuaTest

Source code taken from HERE .

Using following library version: lua-5.2.1_Win32_dll10_lib.zip

I tried different lua52.lib files, but with all of them I get these errors. What could be wrong?

Answer 1

You are using Visual Studio 2012, but library files from here appealingly only support up to Visual Studio 2010.

Anyway, Lua is small and very easy to compile. I would really recommend you to include Lua source files in Visual Studio instead of libraries.
