Hi, MXE (M cross environment) is a Makefile that compiles a cross compiler and cross compiles many free libraries such as SDL and Qt. Target OS is MinGW. [1]
MXE has a plugin called "luarocks" [2] which adds a luarocks itself and dozens of packages. This page has a short description of luarocks and commands to build and test all the packages. In particular it allows to cross-compile to Windows a luarocks-based application, which is a great feature for both luarocks and MXE. MXE applies a patch [3] to luarocks to add itself as a platform. I have done this work for luarocks 2.2.2 and then have to rebase [4] this patch for luarocks 2.3.0. I have opened a pull request [5] to luarocks repo several weeks ago. Can someone review it, please? This pull request is equal to that patch. See also discussions of LuaRocks in MXE issue tracker: [6] and [7].
