There isn't a tutorial as such, but it may not have helped in this
case. The example seems to be based on a previous version of Lua, the
-llualib no longer exists, likewise for lua_dofile(). There's also a
question of style with the "static" keyword and ordering of
definitions (the first error).

To avoid this sort of trouble, I'd suggest trying it on your Unix
system first. Then when you have something working, attempt to
cross-compile.

Searching is also unhelpful in this particular case, I couldn't find
an updated embedding tutorial. You best bet would be to read the
source of some projects you know embed Lua - or even the lua.c file in
the the tarball that creates the standalone lua interpreter (since
this is in effect lua embedded in a console program).

HTH,
