mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make 
make test

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G "MSYS Makefiles"
make
make test

create a sub directory called 'build'
run the cmake-gui
select source 'moai-lua-tests'
select build 'moai-lua-tests/build'
hit configure
from the 'Build' section, untick 'BUILD_WARNINGS'
hit generate
open the solution file in VS
view output
build RUN_TESTS

This should also create a binary called "luatest.exe" in the build directory. Invoking this will 1) regenerate the vs project and 2) run the main.lua in src/

Running a cmake configuration copies all the lua source from the source dir to the build directory; this is so that we can later appply preprocessing directives to combine files, etc.

Notice that the 'luatest' binary actually invokes cmake; there's no need to run cmake every time; just work on the code in the source dir and run luatest to run it.

Running the tests, however, requires a proper compile run: make; make test.

This approach is suitable for CI integration and should run on both win and osx build agents.
