Hello,
First, I'm using the Microsoft Compiler toolchain, which probably makes a
significant difference. Telling is that after the build completes, I have
both a lua51.dll (400k) and a lua5.1.lib (25k), indicating that anything
compiled against the .lib is really linking against the .dll.
I actually build a bit of an environment up, so I've gone a little retro
and wrote a batch file to manage the process, and this (for me) builds
LuaJIT in a useful way that allows me to use it with LuaRocks (along with
building IUP and it's assoc dependencies, which is why it's a little
convoluted):
set LUA51=../../luajit
cd c:\
mkdir build
cd build
set BASE=%CD%
set LUAJIT_BASE=%BASE%\luajit
REM
REM create output dirs
REM
mkdir luajit
mkdir luajit\include
mkdir luajit\lib
mkdir luajit\lib\dll9_64
mkdir luajit\lua
REM checkout LuaJIT into a directory...
REM svn co http://... luajitsrc
REM
REM Build LuaJIT
REM
mkdir luajit\lua\jit
cd %BASE%\luajitsrc\src
CALL msvcbuild.bat
copy luajit.exe ..\..\luajit
copy lua51.dll ..\..\luajit
copy lua51.lib ..\..\luajit\lib\dll9_64\lua5.1.lib
copy lua*.h ..\..\luajit\include
copy lauxlib.h ..\..\luajit\include
cd ..
copy lib\*.lua ..\luajit\lua\jit
cd ..
REM .. do other things now ..
Now, to install Luarocks, I run the installer something like this:
luarocks\install.bat /P c:\rocks /CONFIG c:\rocks /TREE c:\rocks /LUA
c:\build\luajit /INC c:\build\luajit\include /LIB
c:\build\luajit\lib\dll9_64 /BIN c:\build\luajit
HTH,
DMK
