LuaPlus doesn't build properly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Attempt to build LuaPlus
2. Note the failures

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- LuaPlus should build properly

LuaPlus uses a non-standard build/make file system called jam, which is used to 
generate the appropriate solution and project files needed for LuaPlus.  It's a 
bit of a fight to get it working so for now, just use the libs that are 
included in 3rdParty.zip file.

I can't seem to find luaplus lib in the 3rdparty.zip file.

It exports to \Source\Lib\Win32Debug, which is how it links to the executable.

Ah yes; i had the old 3rd party zip file. I didn't notice there was a new one 
with the debug libs included. Thanks!

None of the jam version does compile properly.

I also tried to download latest luaplus versions:
http://luaplus.org/projects/luaplus/wiki

Inside luaplus wiki there is also a description of how to build it:
Run the CreateJamVS2010Workspace.bat (or CreateJamVS2008Workspace.bat or 
CreateJamXcodeWorkspace.sh) script in the LuaPlus main directory after putting 
the jamplus\bin\win32 directory in your PATH (or modifying the 
CreateJamVS2010Workspace.bat script to point to that directory).

But its not declared what jam version should be used for that.

I think it is a special version of perforce jam which can be found here:
http://jamplus.org/projects/jamplus/files

I tried :
- jamplus-110621-bin.win32.zip
- jamplus-nextgen-121208-bin.win32.zip
- jamplus-0.3-win32-bin-2.zip
- JamPlus-0.2-bin.zip
- Jamplus-bin-081001.zip

but none of these work with luaplus.

So how do you build it?
