LuaRocks 3.0.1

[Bernd Eggink <bernd.eggink@...>]

Hello,

I'm on MX Linux, using Lua 5.3.3, which is installed under /usr/local. 
There is also a Lua 5.1 in /usr, which I don't use, but some system 
software appears to need that.
Whe I try to compile LuaRocks 3.0.1, this happens:

-------------------------------------

Configuring LuaRocks version 3.0.1...

Lua interpreter found: /usr/local/bin/lua
Checking if /usr/local/bin/lua is Lua version 5.3... yes
lua.h found: /usr/local/include/lua.h
unzip found in PATH: /usr/bin

Done configuring.

LuaRocks will be installed at......: /usr/local
LuaRocks will install rocks at.....: /usr/local
LuaRocks configuration directory...: /usr/local/etc/luarocks
Using Lua from.....................: /usr/local

* Type make and make install:
  to install to /usr/local as usual.
* Type make bootstrap:
  to install LuaRocks into /usr/local as a rock.

-------------------------------------

There is no cmd.lua or cmd.so in my file system.
What am I missing?

Thanks for any help,
