Ah, so *you're* the author. You've no doubt figured that it's my request on 
the "Support Request" page at SourceForge.

If I can get it to compile, or get a precompiled binary (*hint*)

I just took a look at it. It appeared to install correctly, but refused to 
run an application I downloaded, complaining it couldn't find a DLL that was 
in Windows\System. Go figure. I tried a web-based application and it locked 
up my browser. Finally, I when I went to uninstall it, there was no 
mechanisms available - I had to clean it out by hand. The fact that seems to 
reports back to home base doesn't fill me with warm fuzzies, either.

Given that Yindo appears to be built with mostly free components, it seems 
odd that no one has put together a free Lua game distro - OpenGL, Glut, 
OpenAl, etc.

Then again, this is coming from someone who can't even build a simple 
makefile. :-)

Time to get my hour of sleep...
