Also Lua binaries are available here (https://luabinaries.sourceforge.net/)
And a big list of Lua frameworks (https://github.com/uhub/awesome-lua)
I'd suggest working with LuaJIT as well because of the C API (you can easily use something like SDL and build metatypes around them) with the caveat that it's stuck at an older version of Lua[0,1].
