I've been trying the hello world example of Luabind in Ubuntu, but I cannot make it work. Would anyone know how to make this example work in Ubuntu using g++?
kuyu@castor-ub:~/dkuyu/Dropbox/practice/lua/luabind$ cat hellobind.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <luabind/luabind.hpp>
void greet()
{
std::cout << "hello world!\n";
}
extern "C" int init(lua_State* L)
{
using namespace luabind;
open(L);
module(L)
[
def("greet", &greet)
];
return 0;
}
kuyu@castor-ub:~/dkuyu/Dropbox/practice/lua/luabind$ g++ hellobind.cpp -I/usr/include/lua5.2/ -c -fPIC
kuyu@castor-ub:~/dkuyu/Dropbox/practice/lua/luabind$ g++ -shared -Wl,--whole-archive -o hellobind.so hellobind.o -lluabind -Wl,--no-whole-archive
kuyu@castor-ub:~/dkuyu/Dropbox/practice/lua/luabind$ cat test.lua
require 'hellobind'
greet()
kuyu@castor-ub:~/dkuyu/Dropbox/practice/lua/luabind$ lua test.lua
lua: error loading module 'hellobind' from file './hellobind.so':
./hellobind.so: undefined symbol: luaopen_hellobind
stack traceback:

kuyu@castor-ub:~/dkuyu/Dropbox/practice/lua/luabind$
When I run the lua script, lua complains "undefined symbol: luaopen_hellobind".
My system details are as follows:

I think you are looking at this example here, and they seem to load the shared library differently. Try a lua script like this:
package.loadlib('hellobind.so', 'init')()
greet()
