I'm not expert on MacOS X at the moment, nor on the Enigma build. I just
did enough to identify what the problem was and demonstrate a way of
working around it. All I really can say is that you have to use g++ to
link if any of the object files are compiled as C++.

Is there still the possibility that LUA is going to be compiled as C
instead of C++? Does that conditionalization still need to be in the
build? If you are always going to use LUA++ why not just rewrite tolua.c
to be tolua.cc and then there is no need for dummy.cc?

When I looked at this I reverted svn trunk to find out when the problem
started, and it was with rev 355 on 2006-10-7. But if Johannes did not
see this problem, maybe there is something wrong with my build
environment. As I said, I have been using MacOS X but I have not yet
become expert in it. Johannes, any comment?
