How do I build lsqlite3 for lua.5.3.1 - sqlite

Question

I am looking to build lsqlite3 0.9.4 for lua 5.3.1 on Windows 10.
However I am not entirely sure how to go about it.
There is a rockspec file but I am not sure if I should be trying to do it through that(because by default I think luarocks is configured for 5.1) or manually with Visual Studio Developer console.
I unfortunately do not have much knowledge on what I should be doing.
From my guess googling/trial and error here is what I have done, and I have no idea if this is correct so forgive me.
cl /nologo /MD /O2 -c -Folsqlite3.obj -I"C:/Lua/5.3.1/include" lsqlite3.c -Dluaopen_lsqlite3=luaopen_lsqlite3complete
(Basically got this command from luarocks when it failed to work)
And then I did this:
LINK.EXE /DLL /OUT:lsqlite3.dll lsqlite3.obj
Which gave me a bunch of unresolved external sqlite3 symbol errors which I kind of expected, I just am not sure where to include in sqlite3..
Any advice on how to properly do this?

Answer 1

First. It ships with sqilte sourece itself.
But luarocks has 2 modules. One require separate SQLite library.
And one build sqlite and lsqlite in single file. So it has no external deps.
Also I think lsqlite3 has bug on Windwos. It provide access to sqlite3_temp_directory. But this not defined on Windows where host application should define it. So lsqlite just try use ifdef to ignore this. But it test WIN32 macro which not defined on MS compiler. So you have 2 ways.
1. Edit rockspec/make file and define WIN32
2. Edit source and use _WIN32 instead
This is output from LuaRocks make command
d:\tmp\lsqlite3_fsl09x>luarocks make lsqlite3-0.9.4-0.rockspec
cl /nologo /MD /O2 -c -Folsqlite3.obj -Ic:\luarocks\x86\5.1\include\ lsqlite3.c -DLSQLITE_VERSION="0.9.4" -Dluaopen_lsqlite3=luaopen_lsqlite3complete lsqlite3.c

lsqlite3 0.9.4-0 is now installed in c:\luarocks\x86\5.1\systree (license: MIT/X11)
But if you have no separate SQLite libray you just can remove one module form rockspec and use only one (and also rename module).
build = {
type = "builtin",
modules = {
lsqlite3 = {
sources = { "lsqlite3.c", "sqlite3.c" },
defines = {'LSQLITE_VERSION="0.9.4"'}
}
},
copy_directories = { 'doc', 'examples' }
}
This is output for LuaRocks make command
d:\tmp\lsqlite3_fsl09x>luarocks make lsqlite3-0.9.4-0.rockspec
cl /nologo /MD /O2 -c -Folsqlite3.obj -Ic:\luarocks\x86\5.1\include\ lsqlite3.c -DLSQLITE_VERSION="0.9.4" lsqlite3.c
