The problem is caused by different levels of Windows API support. The GNU installation supports Windows XP, the mingw library I am using does not. I haven't had time to drill in and find a proper solution.
Do you have an example project using xmake with it?
First: I apologize, I am unprepared. I just recently tore down my development environment and mangled another one while testing installers and whatnot.
Please run the following command from powershell or CMD:
xmake global --mingw= 'C:\Program Files (x86)\WinLua\WLC\'
That will set up xmake to work globally with WinLua's mingw installation (I am trying to automate that step through the installer, hence my broken environments). If you have existing C/C++ code, you can navigate into your source directory and type `xmake f -p mingw -a x86_64`. Xmake will try to find your source code and create a project (-a i686 or -a i386 will also work for 32 bit; they are synonyms for each other). A couple of weeks back I auto generated zlib and it worked really well. The xmake.lua file that is generated has comment notes at the bottom that will give you pointers on how to write xmake and where to find documentation.

As for example projects, I have a bunch of junk scattered around, let me see what I can find. I have a two part article about Sol 3 C++ Lua bindings and I introduce xmake:
Here is the contents of the xmake file from the article:
set_languages("c++17")
-- define target
target("main")
-- set kind
set_kind("binary")
-- add files
add_files("main.cpp", "appConfig.cpp")
add_includedirs("include", "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\WinLua\\Lua\\5.3\\include")
add_linkdirs("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\WinLua\\Lua\\5.3\\bin")
add_links("lua53")
after_build(function(target)
os.cp("proj1.lua", path.join(target:targetdir(),"proj1.lua"))
end);
That should get you started?
Xmake is quite easy if you've used SCONS or CMake. I think it's one of the most brilliant pieces of development software I've used. I'm excited about my own project, but xmake is so much cooler and bigger than WinLua.
