we do not support windows. maybe @diz-vara has some ideas.

By default CMake on Windows generates Visual Studio solution, but luarocks waits for NMake Makefile.
I resolved this issue by additional batch file that calls Cmake.exe with additional parameters:
cmake.cmd

if %1 == -E  (
cmake.exe  %* 
) else (
cmake.exe -G "NMake Makefiles"  -DWIN32=1 -dLUA_WIN -DCMAKE_LINK_FLAGS:implib=libluajit.lib %*
)

• but you must be sure that luarocks will use this cmake.cmd - not original cmake.exe
