NAME

       lua-config - Lua configuration information

SYNOPSIS

       Basic usage

       gcc ` lua-config --include ` my_prog.c -o my_prog ` lua-config --libs `

DESCRIPTION

       The  lua-config script allows you to determine useful information about the chosen version of lua running
       on the Debian GNU/Linux system in use.  More information can be found by running lua-config  without  any
       arguments.

CAVEATS

       This script is unique to Debian and as such you shouldn't rely on its presence on every system. Lua is an
       embedded language by default and different Linux distributions each take a different approach  to  making
       it  possible  to compile with Lua. The pkg-config system also provides a way to look for libraries and is
       more likely to be supported across different Linux distributions. Debian's pkg-config name for Lua 5.0 is
       lua50  and  the  libraries  are in lualib50.  These pkg-config files can be found in the liblua50-dev and
       liblualib50-dev packages.
