I am trying to install luafilesystem.dll 64-bit version for my neovim lua script (I assume that I need 64-bit version because Neovim is 64-bit, correct me if I'm wrong)

I couldn't find precompiled 64-bit version of lua 5.4 that had a static library (lua.lib) so I'm trying to compile the source files by myself.

I downloaded 5.4.2 source files (+ Windows x64 executables and DLL) from: .html

Here is the Lua64 directory where the files are located:

cd                                                                                                   in cmd at 23:13:22
C:\Lua64

tree /f                                                                                                          in cmd at 23:01:02

When trying to install luafilesystem using luarocks, I get the following error:

luarocks install luafilesystem                                                                                                                                                            in cmd at 22:46:54
Installing .8.0-1.src.rock

luafilesystem 1.8.0-1 depends on lua >= 5.1 (5.4-1 provided by VM: success)

Error: Build error: Lua library at C:\Lua64\lua.lib does not match Lua version 5.4. You can use `luarocks config variables.LUA_LIBDIR <path>` to set the correct location.

luarocks config variables.LUA_LIBDIR is correctly set to "C:\Lua64"

lua.h header file has lua version defines as 5.4.2:

lua -v                                                                                                                                                                                    in cmd at 23:14:33

What could be wrong?
