Unable To Build Lupa

Question

I'm trying to compile Lupa on Windows 7 64bit, and I've installed all of the dependencies (including LuaJIT2 and Lua 5.2). But when I try to install by running

python setup.py install

I get errors regarding dependancies, usually .m files.

For example:

lupa/_lupa.c(265) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'lua.h': No such file or directory

I've tried adding the files manually but it just leads to more issues, like this:

c:\mingw\include\stdint.h:118:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition
 #define INT_LEAST64_MIN INT64_MIN
 ^
In file included from _lupa.c:271:0:
stdint.h:154:0: warning: "INT_LEAST64_MAX" redefined [enabled by default]
  #define INT_LEAST64_MAX 0x7fffffffffffffff
 ^
In file included from c:\mingw\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.8.1\include\stdint.h:9:0,
                 from c:\mingw\include\wchar.h:876,
                 from unicodeobject.h:120,
                 from Python.h:85,
                 from _lupa.c:30:
c:\mingw\include\stdint.h:123:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition
 #define INT_LEAST64_MAX INT64_MAX
 ^
In file included from _lupa.c:271:0:
stdint.h:155:0: warning: "UINT_LEAST64_MAX" redefined [enabled by default]
  #define UINT_LEAST64_MAX 0xffffffffffffffffU
 ^

Please note this is a small excerpt from the spam I was getting in the console. I've tried more things than I can keep track of. I've tried using gcc to no avail and had friends try and help me. I'm completely stumped. Please help me!

Oh, and here's a full log of me trying to run the installer without changing files around:

I don't know if you still need the answer for this but I had the same problem and looked into lupa folder and saw lupa.pyx which implies you need Cython. Run pip install cython beforehand worked for me.
