Yup.

.a

You can look at the distribution for two examples: 'lua' and 'luac'. Check out the makefile for
'lua', it is very simple.

If you create a file named 'test.c' in the root of the Lua distribution directory, with the
following contents:

  #include "lua.h"
  #include "lualib.h"
  int main() {
    lua_State* L = lua_open(0);
    if (L) {
      lua_baselibopen (L);
      lua_dostring(L, "print 'Hello, World'");
      lua_close(L);
    }
    return 0;
  }

You should be able to build it with the following command line:

  gcc -Iinclude -Llib  test.c -llua -llualib

Cheers,
Eric
