I've been trying to get luarocks to work on windows, and all it gives is cryptic gcc errors.

How does pip manage to work on most platforms without issues?

Lua runs everywhere (almost), but I cannot install a uuid library on windows.

IIRC I've had pip fail like that too. Unable to build a lib it included.
