So here's how I "solved" it;
>From the binary rock, modify rockspec file, replace "build" element with:
build = {
type = "builtin",
modules = {
["ltn12"] = "lua/ltn12.lua",
["mime"] = "lua/mime.lua",
["socket"] = "lua/socket.lua",
["socket.ftp"] = "lua/socket/ftp.lua",
["socket.http"] = "lua/socket/http.lua",
["socket.smtp"] = "lua/socket/smtp.lua",
["socket.tp"] = "lua/socket/tp.lua",
["socket.url"] = "lua/socket/url.lua",
}
}
then from the containing folder:
luarocks make
xcopy /E lib\*.* C:\Users\Public\Lua\LuaRocks\lib\lua\5.1
the former command satisfies luarocks' dependency needs (and does the lua
part), the latter puts the binaries in place.
Only question remaining is whether the binaries were created with MinGW... If
not there could be some runtime.dll problems, but for now it works.
