It was a whole bunch of _" undefined reference to"_ a lot of the functions from the lua api. I think I was getting that too when trying to compile a C code version of my first test (that's linker errors, iirc, but my C is too rusty to be sure). I ended up giving up on C, since I couldn't figure

How to get my nim procs in a lua table

No problem, I'm glad it is helpful. Maybe I can help figure out what's wrong. You shouldn't need to do anything with lua libraries to get it working, what versions of Nim and Love2D are you running? Did you copy the code exactly as it is above? What error message do you get?

@geotre, then maybe I can't compile it for the same reason I can't compile C code for lua... I may not have my lua libraries properly setup for that, or something. I'm never figured out what the problem was. @lucian, that code worked! And my lib compiled fine too and worked as intended now. Tha

How to get my nim procs in a lua table

> although the lua app crashes on startup for some reason This may be due to using Nim code standalone library without doing some presetup required. Look-up threads in forum for creating a Nim dll to be linked in C projects. AFAIK it requires some code to init the GC or alike. In terms of regis

How to get my nim procs in a lua table

That module may come in handy. Gonna keep it in mind. I'm doing the opposite of that, though. Love2D already handles the whole backend lua C api stuff, and creates the lua state, then lua itself sends it to my lib when calling its functions. (`love2d <--> lua <--> dll`) [This is my test code](

How to get my nim procs in a lua table

I don't really know anything about Lua, but I needed to do some luaJIT stuff, including reading arbitrary Lua data into Nim objects, so I wrote this thing: / Maybe it will help. The docs are fairly skimpy, but I use it like this: var L = newStat

Hey Skaruts, I'm not sure what you are trying to do with Love2D, but I thought this might interest you so I'll paste it here. It's a demo using the Love API via the Lua VM: # main.nim # -- a bunch of glue code to get lua working -- type luacfunc = proc(luaSta

How to get my nim procs in a lua table

Yea, that means building love2d, and I'm not really willing to do that. Either way I think luaJIT is a nice thing to keep. How can I build a lua table in Nim? I was thinking maybe I could get away with doing that, if I can get those procs in it and push it to the lua stack, I might be able to r

btw, kind of indicates support for newer versions (unless you really want to stick with 5.1 for JIT).

How to get my nim procs in a lua table

Sadly, `luaL_Reg` isn't working for me. Probably because I'm using lua 5.1. `luaL_Reg` is defined in the [lua 5.2 file](https://github.com/nim-lang/lua/blob/ffa21d38172a6f654066f4c2c761d0cb2e915ffa/src/lua52.nim#L529) I have to use 5.1, since I'm using Love2d.

I'm using the [nim-lua bindings](https://github.com/nim-lang/lua) to make a dll that can be loaded from lua, but I can't figure out how to bind this library to a lua table. In C, you could do this (took this code partially from a tutorial): int luaopen_testlib(lua_State *L) {
