digitalmars.D.learn - lua for d

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).

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 :-(
