Problems linking my program with Lua and SAS/C

[balrogsoft]

Hi.

I want to add lua scripting to a game engine that i'm making for classic Amigas and MorphOS, but i'm having some problems linking liblua.a with SAS/C, how should be linked this type of libraries?, when i try to link my program with this library SLink says that is not a valid object file.

i'm tried to compile lua with SAS/C, but with problems also, it asks for undefined symbols like strtod, pow, floor, ... i have downloaded ixemul sdk archive with the libs and include files, but with the same problem of invalid object file.

If its the .a file in the aminet archive, it's an "AR" archive file. You can probably use it with gcc or amidevcpp. I've never tried to use SAS/C with non-Amiga hunk format libraries. You could also probably recompile the source with SAS/C to produce a static library in the format that SAS/C likes.

Hi bm07.

The problem is that i had tried to compile lua with SAS/C also, but also requires the libraries of ixemul that are in the same format that lua library. Maybe it's better solve the dependencies, and not use the ixemul library.

Thanks you.

It seems that ixemul isn't need finally, i linked it with "sc link" instead "slink" and it searchs the libraries automaticly, but now it asks for undefined symbols _main and __ctype.

Edited:

I have found that lua requires the liblua.a, and i don't know how to make a static library with sas/c to make my own version compatible with sas/c.
