Embedding lua into c++ but getting unresolved externals : floor, freopen & strcoll

Question

I'm embedding lua into a c++ vs2019 solution and it results in linking errors to basic c libraries ( __imp_freopen, __imp_floor and __imp_strcoll ).

lua compiles as a static c library in it's own project and is linked to the main project, but when using luaL_newstate(); I get unresolved external symbols for freopen(...), floor(...) and strcmp(...).

My best guess is that this error comes from my build system (premake5) as when I manually add the project using vs2019 there are no linking errors but since I frequently work on this project across operating systems, not having premake work properly presents many problems. I'd appreciate any ideas on how to narrow down the problem.

premake for lua :

project "lua"
    kind "StaticLib"
    language "C"

    targetdir ("bin/" .. outputdir .. "/%{prj.name}")
    objdir ("bin-int/" .. outputdir .. "/%{prj.name}")

    files
    {
        "src/**.c",
        "src/**.h",
        "src/lua.hpp"
    }

    excludes
    {
        "src/lua.c",
        "src/luac.c"
    }

    filter "configurations:Debug"
        runtime "Debug"
        symbols "on"

    filter "configurations:Release"
        runtime "Release"
        optimize "on"

relevant premake for solution :
