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.
