In the subdirectory deps I have lua and ffi libs that I was able to build somehow

All the commans to build I run from x86_x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022

[DmitryOvsyannikov1978]

Was able to build it after 2 additional steps.

1) Using vcpkg I've downloaded lua-5-4 and together with the binaries there was an include directory with 5 include files (lauxlib.h, lua.h, lua.hpp, luaconf.h, lualib.h)

2) I put these include file into cffi-lua\subprojects\libffi\include

After that the built was successful. Anyway it would be nice if somebody corrects me what I did wrong.

[q66]

but your original error output tells you what's wrong? lua.hpp: No such file or directory,

likewise, the build instructions tell you exactly what to do, including to place the headers in the right place, which means you did not follow the instructions properly

[DmitryOvsyannikov1978]

I disagree because as a user I know nothing about what headers I should add and where to take them from. Probably it makes sence to add them to the repository
