Hmm, ok. So Luarocks needs a static Lua library then? By default, building
Luajit from source in Windows only creates the dynamic library (lua51.dll).
To have it create the static library requires changing an option in
src/Makefile, which contains the comments:
# Mixed mode is not supported on Windows. And static mode doesn't work
well.
# C modules cannot be loaded, because they bind to lua51.dll.
I'm not sure what to think of that... but as it stands, the Luarocks
installer fails because it only looks for lua5.1.lib - maybe it was done
with MSVC in mind. I just ran mingw32-make again, this time with static
mode set in the Makefile, which created libluajit.a - presumably following
the Unix naming scheme because I'm using MinGW rather than MSVC.
So I renamed the newly-built static library and copied it to the Luajit
dir, but now Luarocks fails, telling me "lua.5.1.dll" is missing.
Going by those comments in the Makefile (and my comedic failure trying to
do it statically) I'm getting the feeling that the DLL is the 'right' way
to use Luajit (at least with MinGW - if anyone has MSVC and wants to
report, that'd be good).
Daniel, could you give me a step-by-step explanation of how you built
Luajit and got it to work out-of-the-box with Luarocks on Windows?
thanks,
Oisín

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
