How to build lua-winreg?

[rustyx]

It is unclear how to build this module on Windows.

Can someone please clarify?

I think the easy way is to use luarocks.
There exists original build.mak file.
But I did not use it at all.
Also, you can just create a project in MSVC for
dynamic library and add to it all C files
You can find the list of difines in rockspec file
And as a total hack. You can copy commands from AppVeyour console Put them in to bat file and run it :)

remove line:
libraries = {"advapi32", "kernel32", "user32"},
from rockspecs\winreg-scm-0.rockspec, then run luarocks make:

\Downloads\lua-winreg-master\lua-winreg-master>luarocks make

winreg scm-0 depends on lua >= 5.1, < 5.4 (5.1-1 provided by VM)
