There are several tools for generating Lua bindings from header files etc I haven’t tried any of them myself though.

I’ve heard of sol and sol2 in the list above and it is supposedly a very good solution.

No, I haven’t heard of anything like this. @britzl’s suggestions are probably a good approach though, if necessary.
