Does anyone have a *simple* makefile for lua v5.4-rc1? It would be for the mingw compiler on Windows 10. The makefiles with the source code are just to complex for me too understand. I just need to build lua.exe, luac.exe, and lua54.dll. I can
handle installation and testing manually.

As Russell pointed out;

I still think that a script similar to this should be included with the Lua source files. Alternatively, a link in a readme or some sort of breadcrumb trail would be acceptable, though not as 'complete' or easy (for lack of a better description). Every document, segue, download and setup step creates dissonance in the learning process. I still don't understand the reticence to support the worlds largest desktop environment. Lua adoption on Windows would sure be easier if building it wasn't such a nightmare for newcomers.
Perhaps an updated luavs.bat with the sources? And while I'm poking around here: I think a revamped strict.lua should also be distributed in the main source code. How many debugging hours could be saved for new users if they were able to simply type `require "strict"`?
I opine that we would see more Windows desktop usage if it was possible to write simple scripts without running into all the pitfalls from the start.
Take that you dead horse!
Cheers,
Russ
Is available, was created created for work1 release, but just validated it still works with RC1 as well.
The CI failures are because it tries to download the sources, which are not available yet in the regular place since it is an RC.
