'Build libraries for deployment
So I am working on making a plugin for an application that uses Lua, I've spoken with the main developers and they said that if I want to use an external library such as luafilesystem or luasocket that I would need to build it into a dll.
I have little experience with C let alone building dlls for that matter. I also don't have LuaRocks or anything like that but if I just downloaded LuaRocks and installed the library using that to my personal environment, and I just use what it generates (hopefully a dll? I don't use Lua for anything else and I don't want to mess anything up in my own environment without knowing first that it's possible.

LuaRocks would download the dll directly, you can use the dll without building.
Lua external library is easy for using. Just require the correct path.
