Lua and Visual C++

Question

I have a simple question. When I open VC++, create an "Empty Project," insert the Lua 5.2.0 source code, then compile, I get no errors. However, when I do this except select "Windows Forms Application" at the beginning, I get a whole bunch of errors. What may be causing this?

EDIT:

The errors are about safe versions of certain functions:

1>..\lua-5.2.0\src\lua.c(102): error C3861: 'signal': identifier not found 1>..\lua-5.2.0\src\lua.c(178): error C3861: 'signal': identifier not found 1>..\lua-5.2.0\src\lua.c(180): error C3861: 'signal': identifier not found 1> luac.c 1>..\lua-5.2.0\src\luac.c(43): warning C4996: 'strerror': This function or variable may be unsafe.

"What may be causing this? " I don't know; you didn't bother to tell us what the errors are. — Nicol Bolas

It may be because when you create a windows form application, it is actually using managed c++ (uses .net), which I don't think lua is compatible with. Take a look at http://luaplus.org/ that might be what you're looking for. It seems like it's lua for ANY .net language (which managed c++ is)
