Re: Binding static methods with luabind?

Great,

The .scope[] solved the problem ( now I have a different problem );

When I execute the Lua script I mentioned ( 1 line script )

	LuaRegisterManager:getInstance()


I get the following Error in my Console:

         Error: LuaRegisterManager* getInstance()


Before adding the .scope [] I was getting

	Error: no static 'getInstance' in class 'LuaRegisterManager'

So I guess it's finding the static method now , but there seems to be a 
different error this time.

I am new to Lua/Luabind so help is really welcome.

Thanks!
