Hi,

I'm trying to install lua-cjson on Windows with Luarocks (2.4.2, freshly installed).

cl is:


cl /?

Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 16.00.30319.01 for x64
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.


When I try to install, I get:


luarocks install lua-cjson

The specified configuration type is missing.  The tools for the
configuration might not be installed.

It doesn't look like there's anything wrong with strbuf.h.  The "offending" line is:

static inline void strbuf_reset(strbuf_t *s)

which I would have thought was ok.  (The preceding lines look ok too, and anyway this installs fine on *nix).

Am I making any obvious mistakes?
Have you tried installing the master branch? I wouldn't know for sure but it seems like it received a few fixes for Windows installs since 2.1.0: 
    https://github.com/mpx/lua-cjson/compare/2.1.0...master
Additionally, you might want to check out the openresty/lua-cjson maintained fork which contains a few bugfixes and additional features: 
    https://github.com/openresty/lua-cjson/#description
https://github.com/mpx/lua-cjson/compare/master...openresty:master
Both of those options are not published on Luarocks but you can clone either repository and try to install their master branch with: 
    $ git clone <mpx/lua-cjson or openresty/lua-cjson>
    $ cd lua-cjson
    $ luarocks make
