How To Use LUA_COMPAT_ALL?

I am new to Lua and especially new to Luabind. When I tried to compile (with Clang++), my first file using Luabind:

    #define LUA_COMPAT_ALL
    #include <luabind/luabind.hpp>
    #include <luaconf.h>
    #include <iostream>

    int main() {

      lua_State *myLuaState = luaL_newstate();


      luabind::open(myLuaState);


      luaL_dostring(
        myLuaState,
        "function add(first, second)\n"
        "  return first + second\n"
        "end\n"
      );
      std::cout << "Result: "
           << luabind::call_function<int>(myLuaState, "add", 2, 3)
           << std::endl;

      lua_close(myLuaState);
    }

I got a whole heap of error messages.

So, I did a bit of looking around I found it had to do with my Lua version being 5.2 vs 5.1 and found that the solution was LUA_COMPAT_ALL (which I found out at Lua project compiling with errors (luabind)).

Unfortunately, I'm a bit of a scrub when it comes to Lua; so, I don't know where I put that.

I hope my question wasn't too stupid :)

Just defining it in your code should work, as told in the Lua source (CTRL+F for "LUA_COMPAT_ALL"): http://www.lua.org/source/5.2/luaconf.h.html

(It might've been in the manual, but removed from it later on)
