What I did so far was renaming the "liblua.a" generated and installed by the Lua makefile to "lua51.lib" and then LuaRocks links against that (without errors so far). Am I supposed to link against the DLL? I think I've got most MinGW stuff fixed in my branch; https://github.com/Tieske/luarocks/tree/MinGW_fix Changes added are all related to the installer batch file. Adding lots of comments, both in the help text displayed, and in the batch file itself. Once you understand what it does, it isn't that bad. Hopefully my comments make it easier to undertand it the next time I have to :) @Steve Can you give it a try? @Hisham I think the windows instructions on the website could also be updated. /MW switch is missing there. Hopefully my altered help text in the installer provides some more guidance, so feel free to use that on the site to. Thijs PS.
