luarocks-build-xmake with winlua: "error: invalid argument: (x86)\WinLua\Lua\5.3\include"

[RussellHaley]

Hello Ruki!

I created a little lua module with xmake and tested it. I then created a LuaRocks rockspec and set the build system to xmake. Here is the rockspec:

package = "wltime"
version = "1.0-1"
source = {
    url = "git://github.com/winlua/wltime",
    tag = "time, sleep"
}
dependencies = {
    "lua >= 5.1",
    "luarocks-build-xmake"
}
build = {
    type = "xmake",
    copy_directories = {}
}

I also tried this:

package = "wltime"
version = "1.0-1"
source = {
    url = "git://github.com/winlua/wltime",
    tag = "time, sleep"
}
dependencies = {
    "lua >= 5.1",
    "luarocks-build-xmake"
}
build = {
    type = "xmake",
    copy_directories = {},
    xmake = {
            plat = "mingw",
            arch = "i686",
            mode = "debug",
        }
}

Here is the output when I run luarocks make, which runs a local build (the code is not published to github yet). Note that I was running with 2.3.9 and then run this upgrade, then re-ran my test with the same result

ok, I will look at it in the next few days. please wait a while, I am working on other issues.

[RussellHaley]

There is no priority on this at all. Please don't worry about it. I was playing with something to distract from lldb/python headaches.

build = {
type = "xmake",
copy_directories = {},
xmake = {
plat = "mingw",
arch = "i686",
mode = "debug",
}
}

It should be in variables = {xmake = {}}

build = {
    type = "xmake",
    copy_directories = {},

I have fixed and updated luarocks-build-xmake to 1.1
