I’m trying to install LuaFileSystem (lfs) on Windows 7 x64. Tried it using Cygwin in a Linux style (using Make and config files), which gave me a lot of syntax errors.

Second try was using: 

luarocks.bat install luafilesystem

Which I’m getting:

cl /MD /O2 -c -Fosrc/lfs.obj -IC:/Program Files (x86)/Lua/5.1/include src/lfs.c
'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Error: Build error: Failed compiling object src/lfs.obj
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\cl.exe"

Trying to run using "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\cl.exe" Throw:

"The program can't start because mspdb100.dll is missing from your computer"

Is there a simple way to install it on Windows 7 x64?
Thanks in advance,
Avi

You need to fix Visual Studio.

There was a previous question here on SO about that:

MS C++ 2010 and mspdb100.dll

First, check if the file is really missing, if it is, you can easily find a copy to put in your computer.

Later, you need to fix your PATH variable running this: path\to\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat

But read the post that I linked, it has more information and alternatives, try them all, one will work!
