I am having trouble trying to use LUA in my VS2008 C++ application. I need C++ to call LUA functions and LUA to call C++ functions. I tried downloading the static .lib and header for LUA 5.1.3 from LuaBinaries, but it's compiled for VS2005, and I could not get it to link properly in VS2008 (luaopen_math used undefined reference _HUGE). I also tried downloading the source and was able to create a project, and get it to compile and create lua.exe and luac.exe, but Im not sure how to go from that point (an EXE) to using lua_dofile() and the other functions in my c++ code. Does anyone have a LUA 5.1.3 / VS2008 static library project, or even just the .lib and headers?

Firstly, it is "Lua" not "LUA"

Secondly, you can't go from teh lua.exe or luac.exe to using it in your own app; you need to build a static library (or a DLL one) to do that.
