   What do you mean? Is the application written in another language? If 
so, one must write a binding of Lua to the other language.

   All the C functions to be registered in Lua must have the same 
signature and must follow the same protocol, as specified in the 
language reference document.

>   last one, if you are making a totally new program / application using lua, how does luac compile the whole thing? i mean, is it still a given that C and C++ functions are present and can automatically be called out and thus making the new application work (assuming no errors were committed)?

   Luac only compiles the Lua sources, not the whole application.
