Ever since yesterday, I've been trying to install lua.vm.js to use it. I've hit some road bumps here and there but this one is by far the one I have no clue on how to fix. What I've been trying to do is literally build it, that's it. I got the files from this GitHub page and I'm just trying to follow the instructions. But I got this error message that, at least for me, does not make sense and I have no clue on how I could find a solution.

I tried looking for others with similar issues but it seems this problem is specific to what you are trying to do, so I couldn't apply any of what I found to this issue. I'm using gnuwn32 to make, I didn't tamper with any of the files.
A bit more information I'll put down. The em-config.py file the makefile references contain this code:
"""This is a helper tool which is designed to make it possible
for other apps to read emscripten's configuration variables
in a unified way. Usage:
em-config VAR_NAME
This tool prints the value of the variable to stdout if one
is found, or exits with 1 if the variable does not exist.
"""
import sys
import re
from tools import config
def main():
if len(sys.argv) != 2 or \
not re.match(r"^[\w\W_][\w\W_\d]*$", sys.argv[1]) or \
not hasattr(config, sys.argv[1]):
print('Usage: em-config VAR_NAME', file=sys.stderr)
exit(1)
print(getattr(config, sys.argv[1]))
return 0
if __name__ == '__main__':
sys.exit(main())
You can clearly see its usage in the comments, it's supposed to "make it possible for other apps to read emscripten's configuration variables in a unified way" And right below it, the line of code the Makefile for lua.vm.js calls to find certain variables. As seen here:
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, em-config EMCC, ...) failed.
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, em-config EMAR, ...) failed.
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, em-config EMRANLIB, ...) failed.
And why it still refuses to find the proper files is beyond me at this point. But I have a clue, this C compiler that the Makefile is trying to find may not exist on my system, which is both strange and confusing.
