This is an error in the header file winnt.h line 209

winnt.h:209:

#define INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES (DWORD (-1))

should be

#define INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES ((DWORD)(-1))

and has been reported to the mingw team and fixed in their cvs.

Good question. I have been unable to build all of LuaCheia with
mingw/msys also. The problems seem libtool related since I can build
the individual projects, e.g., for luasockets. using the original (or
slightly hacked) makefiles, whereas the LuaCheia build for libsockets
doesn't work for me.
