If so, I suggest you take a pre-compiled version of Lua.
You can find the binaries I generated for Lua 4.0 on my site, and there are
also official ones on the Lua site.
If you want the latest Lua 4.1-work3 binaries (for Windows), I can upload
them, or just send them to you.

Good suggestion, I can contribute for the "makefiles" (actually .dsw and
.dsp files) for VC6, both for 4.0 and 4.1. The former are availables on my site,
but the WikiWiki has probably a better visibility.
