Cannot build gnuplot4.5 with lua terminal on cygwin-1.7 (was making gnuplot-tikz.lua.exe on cygwin-1.7)

[Tatsuro M. <tma...@ya...>]

Hello

Although strange behavior of Makefile, the lua term should be included by ignoring strange error by
'make -i'.

./configure
 :
checking for LUA... yes
checking for library containing luaL_openlibs... none required
checking lua.h usability... yes
checking lua.h presence... yes
checking for lua.h... yes
 :
  lua/TikZ terminal: yes
 :
  TeX *.sty for lua/tikz terminal: yes

In config.h after configure, I can see,

/* Define if you want the lua/TikZ terminal. */
#define HAVE_LUA 1

However I cannot use lua in built gnuplot.
$ gnuplot

gnuplot> set term lua
                  ^
         unknown or ambiguous terminal type; type just 'set terminal' for a lis
