I'm currently standardizing my mingw build of Lua
Can you publish how you did this? I usually build Lua with MS Visual Studio, but was attempting to do a Cygwin build ('make mingw') using the standard distribution.
However the resulting .dll required cygwin1.dll to be present alongside lua5.1.dll in order to work. Cygwin1.dll is about a 1.2 Mb file, which seems excessive considering Lua's small size.
However adding -mno-cygwin to the build options gave a heap of undefined references (eg. _setjmp, ___errno).
There must be a way, mustn't there?, to compile Lua under Windows without needing a proprietary compiler, and without needing a huge DLL just so supply a handful of operating-system related functions.
