Windows: fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'lua.h': No such file or directory

1.6k Views Asked by At

I have tried to some requirements for a python project in windows, using pip install -r requirements.txt, however this keeps failing. After some investigation I have found that it fails because of lupa. Running "pip install lupa" shows the same error as for when I try to install the requirements as shown in the stacktrace below:

I tried at first to compile and install luajit, using the approach described on: http://luajit.org/install.html but this didnt solve the problem.

Then I managed to install luajit (at least I think I did) using hererocks, but for some reason it wont pick up lua.h even though the file is in the luajit/include library, so the end result was the same.

I found this article: Building luafilesystem for Lua for Windows and I tried to play around with the environment variables described but no luck..

It seems to me like the file is for some reason not included in the build and I cannot make it resolve this.

All or any help and suggestions are appreciated.

I am running windows 10 with visual studio express edition. I have cygwin and mingw installed but I'd like to stick with the SDK if possible.
