Yep, the logic is not right. That's why I'm writing a pure Lua install
script - the advantages are

    -  you run it with the Lua executable you want to use; the script can
deduce a lot from that.
    - easy to check for compilers, look for mingw32-gcc, cl.exe etc. Modern
users of MSVC run it from a special command prompt anyway.
    - smart enough to run from the repo directly
    - easier to read ;)

mingw64-gcc needs to be detected as well, at least for proper configuration.
