Hm – This might be happening because you don’t have a compiler toolchain installed? Does https://www.npmjs.com/package/windows-build-tools help you?
I installed Windows build tools before and the error was something along the lines of 'Windoes 8.1 SDK not found' so I installed that and the error became this. When installing the SDK I selected all available features so I'm not sure how an executable could be missing..
Weird … I’m sorry, I’m not usually a Windows developer, but I’ll give my best to help.
Have you tried something along the lines of downloading Visual Studio Community edition & installing the Desktop C++ Development package? (https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/) That would be my next attempt :/
The error here says lib.exe
wasn’t found but that should really be something that is included in a compiler toolchain for Windows…
Me neither actually, and I had no problems getting the module to build on linux, unfortunately I need to support windows in my app.
I have a lot of visual studio/build/windows sdk crap installed, I'll try removing everything and installing the latest visual studio, as well as other things until I get it to work. I'll update this thread.
I removed everything and only installed VS2017 with the desktop c++ package and it worked, guess my environment was just too bloated... Thanks for the help!
I can't seem to get this module to build on windows. I'm being told 'lib.exe' is not found.
