Can't get LuaJIT to compile with cygwin

I am trying to install the latest version of LuaJIT on Windows. I followed the instructions for installing LuaJIT as best I could. I installed cygwin and the make packages, opened cygwin, cded to the unzipped source folder, and typed make. I get this output:

$ make
==== Building LuaJIT 2.0.3 ====
make -C src

Searching for any of these error messages turns up nothing. What did I do wrong?

For what it's worth: LuaJIT-2.1.0-beta2 (available now at luajit.org download) builds fine on Cygwin 64; no hacking required.

If you read the documentation you'll see that cygwin64 is not yet supported, only 32 bit. http://luajit.org/install.html

However it doesn't look hard to add support to it. Just try. e.g. the documentation suggests:

Configuring LuaJIT

The standard configuration should work fine for most installations. Usually there is no need to tweak the settings. The following files hold all user-configurable settings:

src/luaconf.h sets some configuration variables.

Makefile has settings for installing LuaJIT (POSIX only).

src/Makefile has settings for compiling LuaJIT under POSIX, MinGW or Cygwin.

src/msvcbuild.bat has settings for compiling LuaJIT with MSVC or WinSDK.

Please read the instructions given in these files, before changing any settings.

So fixing src/Makefile seems to be the easiest. Unfortunately I'm a bit sick currently and cannot do it right now. I've looked a bit and this patch fixes the CALL_MMAP problem: --- src/lj_alloc.c~ 2014-03-23 20:47:09.000000000 -0500 +++ src/lj_alloc.c 2014-03-23 20:47:54.145877000 -0500 @@ -188,7 +188,7 @@ return ptr; }

-#elif LJ_TARGET_OSX || LJ_TARGET_PS4 || defined(__FreeBSD__) || defined(__FreeBSD_kernel__) || defined(__NetBSD__) || defined(__OpenBSD__) || defined(__sun__)
+#elif LJ_TARGET_OSX || LJ_TARGET_PS4 || defined(__FreeBSD__) || defined(__FreeBSD_kernel__) || defined(__NetBSD__) || defined(__OpenBSD__) || defined(__sun__) || defined(__CYGWIN__)

 /* OSX and FreeBSD mmap() use a naive first-fit linear search.
 ** That's perfect for us. Except that -pagezero_size must be set for OSX,

Add a __CYGWIN__ check.

Now just the lj_err_unwind_win64 unwinder is not linked. This is for Mike Pall now. Not sure if EXT or INT is appropriate and how it is linked.
