The correct way, at least on Linux (I don't personally do much cross-platform work), is to use pkg-config to both test for the correct version and get the linker flags.

The output on my Fedora workstation, for example:

[user@workstation]$ pkg-config --libs lua -llua -lm -ldl [user@workstation]$

Hi Bradley,

you're right, either use pkg-config or a provided tool from the package (like mysql_config for mysql) in the Makefile would be the most compatible way to get the correct library name, path and flags for the compilation.
