Loading a C module fails with error undefined symbol: lua_xxx. How to fix?

Add the following rustflags to your .cargo/config in order to properly export Lua symbols:

[target.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu]
rustflags = ["-C", "link-args=-rdynamic"]

[target.x86_64-apple-darwin]
rustflags = ["-C", "link-args=-rdynamic"]

I want to add support for a Lua VM fork to mlua. Do you accept pull requests?

Adding new feature flag to support a Lua VM fork is a major step that requires huge effort to maintain it. Regular updates, testing, checking compatibility, etc. That's why I don't plan to support new Lua VM forks or other languages in mlua.
