首先下载lua源码包，然后分别是make，make linux，make install

注意如果没有make install，那么在#include<lua.h>时，会报找不到lua.h文件的错误。

网上找到一段源码：

func.lua

--变量定义
width=1 ;
height=2 ;
--lua函数定义，实现加法
function sum(a,b)
    return a+b ;
end
--lua函数定义，实现字符串相加
function mystrcat(a,b)
    return a..b ;
end
--lua函数定义，通过调用c代码中的csum函数实现加法
function mysum(a,b)
    return csum(a,b) ;
end

直接编译，cc  test_lua.c，结果报错：

网上搜了下，需要加上lua静态库文件：

cc test_lua.c -llua，

这时之前报的错误都没了，又报新错误

/usr/local/lib/liblua.a(lobject.o): In function `luaO_arith‘:
lobject.c:(.text+0x5bf): undefined reference to `floor‘
lobject.c:(.text+0x5f2): undefined reference to `pow‘
/usr/local/lib/liblua.a(lvm.o): In function `luaV_execute‘:
lvm.c:(.text+0x23b9): undefined reference to `floor‘
lvm.c:(.text+0x23f6): undefined reference to `pow‘
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

然后把命令改成：

cc test_lua.c -llua -lm

这时编译通过。
