Problem: static library linked with a dynamic library

[Trixter]

Hey!

I have created a dynamic library that is an application framework and I'm linking it with another project that is the actual application. However I'm having a problem with a static LUA library that I'm linking with the framework. Everything is fine when I compile the framework (framework.dll) but compiling the application I'm linking the framework with fails (undefined reference to 'luaL_newstate). If I also link the actual application with the static LUA library it works like a charm...why? Shouldn't the static LUA code be embedded in the dynamic framework library? What am I doing wrong here? How should it be done? I really dont want to link lua with the application code too.

I wish to do this:

libLua5.1.a --linking with--> framework.dll --linking with--> application.exe

NOT THIS:

libLua5.1.a --linking with--> framework.dll --linking with--> application.exe
libLua5.1.a ------------------linking with------------------------->


BTW: I'm using MinGW on Windows.

Let us see the actual commands you are using to compile and link each project.

By LUA you mean Ierusalimschy's scripting language, right?
