What-I-am-doing for compiling DBASE.C for Lua - lua

Question

friend.
I need instructions for compiling this utility. But I can not find info.
My current scenario is Win7, Lua 5.1 (because it is installed in my machine by my son, but later I'll try with Lua v5.3.## current).
I have seen on a txt file this command:
gcc string.c dbf_head.c dbf_ndx.c dbf_misc.c dbf_rec.c luadbase.c -shared -O2 -Wall -L/usr/local/lib -llua -ldl -lm -lnsl -o dbase.so
As I understand that /usr/local/lib is a Linux dir, then I change it for ./
I consider that this means that I will look for libraries in the directory I write: in my case I say it that the libraries is in the same dir. http://iie.fing.edu.uy/~vagonbar/gcc-make/gcc.htm
First try:
I create make_win.bat with this content (see the .DLL extension):
gcc string.c dbf_head.c dbf_ndx.c dbf_misc.c dbf_rec.c luadbase.c
-shared -O2 -Wall -L./ -llua -ldl -lm -lnsl -o dbase.dll
D:\lua-dbase-compiling>make_win
D:\lua-dbase-compiling>gcc string.c dbf_head.c dbf_ndx.c dbf_misc.c dbf_rec.c lu
adbase.c -shared -O2 -Wall -L./ -llua -ldl -lm -lnsl -o dbase.dll

As it it saying that cannot find three files: lua.h, lauxlib.h and compat-5.1.h, then I look for them in m PC. I find them, then copy'em to the dir where I have the sources for DBASE.DLL .
Second try:
I run make_win.bat with this same content as the first try.
I got a long list of error and warnings. The several first --as you can see in next lines-- indicates me that it could not find the three files I copy.

Then I decided to copy all the sources of Lua v.5.1.4 and the some more for compat-5.1 (that are not in the same sources).
Third try:
I run make_win.bat with this same content as the first and second try.
The error were a few, in just seven lines.
D:\lua-dbase-compiling>gcc string.c dbf_head.c dbf_ndx.c dbf_misc.c dbf_rec.c lu
adbase.c -shared -O2 -Wall -L./ -llua -ldl -lm -lnsl -o dbase.dll
dbf_rec.c: In function 'pack_dbf':
dbf_rec.c:131: warning: implicit declaration of function 'ftruncate'
ld: cannot find -llua
ld: cannot find -ldl
ld: cannot find -lnsl
As I am not an expert C programmer, I decided to supress this three arguments: -llua -ldl -lnsl in the runable sentence.
Forth try:
Now the sentence is:
gcc string.c dbf_head.c dbf_ndx.c dbf_misc.c dbf_rec.c luadbase.c -shared -O2 -Wall -L./ -lm -o dbase.dll
I got a lot of errors. I got no the first lines:

I do not understand.
I do not see any DLL in the directory.
I do not know how to proceed.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for reading this question.
