Right now I can't install this via LuaRocks because Meson isn't installed on our systems. Furthermore, adding cffi-lua as a dependency makes Meson a transitive dependency for building my library.
I was wondering if it'd be possible to switch over to using xmake as the build system? It'll provide a number of advantages:
There's a LuaRocks plugin you can add as a build-time dependency that'll automatically install it if it's not available. This means that users don't need to install XMake themselves.
XMake's configuration is literally just plain Lua.
You can use XMake's package management to install libffi if it's not installed already.
XMake is cross-platform.
This means that all users need to install cffi-lua is some version of Lua, an appropriate C++ compiler, and either XMake or LuaRocks depending on how they're installing it.

i don't have any plans to switch build systems, sorry; i generally don't use luarocks either, it's provided pretty much as a supplementary thing, the primary way is to just use meson
meson is also portable/cross-platform, there shouldn't be any reason you can't install it
