luarocks on WinXP and minGW/msys fails

[Ben Aurel <ben.aurel@...>]

hi

I cannot run luarocks on windows xp with mingw/msys environment and in
a rvxt terminal

Setup
====
- windows xp, (version 5.1, sp3)
- minGW 5.1.3
- gcc version 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3)
- Lua 5.1.4
- luarocks1.0

Build
====
 $ ./configure && make && make install
[no errors - this runs OK]

Resultiing files
============
The executables:
   /local/bin/luarocks
   /local/bin/luarocks-admin

The luarocks scripts:
   /local/share/lua/5.1/luarocks/

Error:
====
When I want to run "luarocks" I get the following error. It says that
it cant find the luarocks scripts. Since the files are there, it might
be someting wrong with the path mapping.

This looks strange:
       no file '/usr/local/share/lua/5.1//luarocks\command_line.lua'
       no file '/usr/local/share/lua/5.1//luarocks\command_line/init.lua'

-----
It would be good if the first two lines in the list worked because
minGW and msys doesn't like windows pathes.

Hmm, any ideas?

thanks in advance
