Building lua 5.2 manually from source using MSVC CLI tools:

----------------------------------------
cd src
cl /MD /O2 /c /DLUA_BUILD_AS_DLL *.c
rename lua.obj lua.o
rename luac.obj luac.o
link /DLL /IMPLIB:lua52.lib /OUT:lua52.dll *.obj
link /OUT:lua.exe lua.o lua52.lib
lib /OUT:liblua52.lib *.obj
link /OUT:luac.exe luac.o liblua52.lib
----------------------------------------
prog:       lua.exe
prog:       luac.exe (statically linked)
static lib: lua5.2.-static.lib
importlib:  lua5.2.lib
dll:        lua52.dll
----------------------------------------

Building lua 5.2 using MinGW tools:

----------------------------------------
mingw32-make.exe mingw
----------------------------------------
prog:       lua.exe
prog:       luac.exe (statically linked)
static lib: liblua.a
importlib:  --
dll:        lua52.dll
----------------------------------------

Building lua 5.2 manually from source using MinGW tools:

----------------------------------------
-- build object files
gcc -O2 -Wall -DLUA_COMPAT_ALL -DLUA_BUILD_AS_DLL  -c  *.c

-- save executable object files for later
rename lua.o lua.obj
rename luac.o luac.obj

-- Build dll with import library from remaining object files
gcc -shared -o lua52.dll -Wl,--out-implib,lua52.a *.o
strip --strip-unneeded lua52.dll

-- build static library
ar rcu liblua52.a *.o
ranlib liblua52.a

-- create luac compiler statically
gcc -o luac.exe luac.obj liblua52.a -lm

-- create lua and dynamically link to dll
gcc -o lua.exe -s  lua.obj lua52.dll -lm

----------------------------------------
prog:       lua.exe
prog:       luac.exe (statically linked)
static lib: liblua52.a
importlib:  lua52.a
dll:        lua52.dll

Installing

/lua/5.2/lua.exe

/lua/5.2/luac.exe

/lua/5.2/lua52.dll

/lua/5.2/lib/liblua52.a, lua5.2.-static.lib or both

/lua/5.2/lib/lua52.a, lua52.lib or both

Obtaining and building Luasocket

git clone https://github.com/diegonehab/luasocket.git

inside luasocket directory:

copy Lua52.props Lua.props

Then open luasocket.sln in Visual Studio
For both subprojects, luasocket and mime:

==> Add the Lua header directory to the includes directory
==> Add the Lua library directory to the library directory
==> Change the output directories and intermediate directories for each to be different
Build
Works in 64 and 32 bit if according Lua import library is supplied.

Obtaining and building LuaXML

http://viremo.eludi.net/LuaXML/LuaXML_130610.zip
git clone https://github.com/LuaDist/luaxml.git
