Re: Binding modules loaded by "require"?

Thanks for your reply.

 

I've read the documentation, but I don't quite follow.

 

If I load "C:\MyScript.lua" and do my luabind stuff:

 

luabind::open(L);

bind "foo" etc...

 

And then, inside this MyScript.lua, I want to get access to another library:

 

require 'extra.mylib' -- Loads C:\extra\mylib.lua...

 

Now, inside mylib.lua I want to access my C++ function "foo". You mention "preload", but where should I initialize it - and how?

 

Thanks again!

As it is now, the library does not know of my C++ classes/functions, which basically makes modularization worthless.
 
Thanks!
The Lua manual explains the functioning of require quite well. You can find what you're looking for here: http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#5.3

Basically, what you want is to register a loading function with Lua. Just use Luabind to register a function, then place this function in the "package.preload" table under the entry of whatever you want the module to be named. So if you want "path/mylib" to be the name of the module, you would put the loader function in "package.preload["path/mylib"]".
