I am trying to install the library LuaFileSystem for Lua but i keep getting errors whatever i try........
`> C:\Users\Game>luarocks install luafilesystem
Installing http://www.luarocks.org/repositories/rocks/luafilesystem-1.8.0-1.src.rock... Using http://www.luarocks.org/repositories/rocks/luafilesystem-1.8.0-1.src.rock... switching to 'build' mode mingw32-gcc -O2 -IC:/Lua/bin/../include -c src/lfs.c -o src/lfs.o 'mingw32-gcc' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

On a different machine i have tried installing the mingw32-gcc compiler, but even if that part of the installation works, i get folder permission errors, i dont know how to config the installation or rockspec files to match my system... im a total noob to this stuff, some help would be greatly appreciated...
This is the error i get running the make command on the other system
