Mini Lua-Adapter

Use this minimal wrapper- / adapter-class as an interface between Lua 5.3+ and C++:

MiniLua lua{"test.lua"};

int width {0};
lua.Get("width", width);

std::string title{"empty"};
if(lua.Get("title", title))
     std::cout << title;

Compile and test

Linux or Unix:

$ g++ MiniLua.cpp test.cpp -llua -ldl

Build Lua 5.4 and test MiniLua using CMake

The CMakeLists.txt in this directory downloads Lua and tries to build it. It compiles a short test-program, too.

$ cmake ./
$ make
