Hi,
Title says it all. I tried building LuaRocks in msys2 with mingw but got a weird error (I also get a similar error when running Luarocks from IN msys2):
russh@LAYNE MINGW64 /c/Users/russh/git/luarocks
$ make binary

"/usr/local/bin/lua" binary/all_in_one "src/bin/luarocks" "/usr/local" "^src/luarocks/admin/" "/usr/local/etc/luarocks" "build-binary" "" unix cc )
/usr/local/bin/lua: ./src/luarocks/fs/tools.lua:54: 'popen' not supported

make: *** [GNUmakefile:95: build-binary/luarocks.exe] Error 1
For a second attempt I installed mingw-w64 on a recent debian VM (pureos) but I don't know how to configure luarocks to target Windows on Linux?
I tried `nmake binary` but it just says the target is up to date.
Does anyone have any hints? I'd love an rtfm link?
Regards,
Russell
