Summary

In this chapter, we have learned how to compile the Lua source code, how to link to the Lua library, and how to include the Lua source code directly in your project. Finally, we executed a Lua script from C++ code. By following these steps yourself, you should be comfortable and confident in including Lua in your C++ projects and prepared for more complex work.

In the next chapter, we will learn the basics of the Lua programming language. If you are already familiar with the Lua programming language, feel free to skip Chapter 2, Lua Fundamentals. We will come back to the communications between Lua and C++ in Chapter 3, How to Call Lua from C++.
