Build Failure on Windows: 'win32.c': No such file or directory

[Melvin-Abraham]

I wanted to create a Google Assistant Client on Windows for which I used the google-assistant library. In order to output Audio Data to the speakers, I wanted to use node-speaker library but each time, I get disappointed as it fails to build on my machine. I checked for any environment or other issues and fixed most of them but still, the issue persists.

I am unsure what's the cause of the issue because the file 'win32.c' clearly exists in the project within the proper directory:
