#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[ ])
{
lua_State* luaVM = lua_open();
if (NULL == luaVM)
{
printf("Error Initializing lua\n");
return -1;
}
// Do stuff with lua code.
lua_close( luaVM );
return 0;
}
What am I doing wrong?

Here is the code I was using to make sure I have everything setup right just to test.
This was code just copied and pasted from an embedding lua tutorial at gamedev.net
Here is the error I get
------ Build started: Project: LuaTest, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------

I'm pretty sure I set the project up right. Windows console project, set my include directory to C:/Lua/include, and my library directory to C:/Lua which is where all the Lua files are stored. I'm using VS2005 Standard if that helps anyone.
extern "C"
{
#include <lua.h>
#include <lualib.h>
#include <lauxlib.h>
}
And make sure you have lua's .dll in the executables folder and lua's .lib linked to your project. (I use lua5.1.dll and lua5.1.lib)
{
#include <lua.h>
#include <lualib.h>
#include <lauxlib.h>
}

ouch, when I include those other header files I get more errors. I'm not using DLL's. I was just using the static library. When you say link the library to the project, you mean set the path of the library files in the project properties right?

Download lua5.1.dll and lua5.1.lib. Place the .dll in the same directory that the .exe is in. Then put the .lib in your compiler's lib folder. Then in MSVC go to Project -> Properties -> Configuration Properties -> Linker -> Input. And in "Additional Dependencies" add lua5.1.lib
EDIT: and please put a little information into your title rather than just saying "help", you should say that it's a lua specific problem.
