Problem. 'make' command failed.

Hello! this is actually my first time using this so I am not sure if I am doing this right but I followed the steps and installed the package and then installed the large.bin model. when Model was downloaded and it was compiling, it threw error:

Downloading ggml model large...
Done! Model large saved in G:\DiscordPaidBots\DiscordPaidBots\excalibura\node_modules\whisper-node\lib\whisper.cpp\models\ggml-large.bin
You can now use it like this:
main.exe -m G:\DiscordPaidBots\DiscordPaidBots\excalibura\node_modules\whisper-node\lib\whisper.cpp\models\ggml-large.bin -f G:\DiscordPaidBots\DiscordPaidBots\excalibura\node_modules\whisper-node\lib\whisper.cpp\samples\jfk.wav

Then I tried to launch my nodejs app and it said:

[whisper-node] Problem. whisper.cpp not initialized. Current shelljs directory:  G:\DiscordPaidBots\DiscordPaidBots\excalibura\node_modules\whisper-node\dist

And when I tried to run make command in node_modules/whisper-node/lib/whisper.cc as this was the only pace where Makefile was, it gave me this error:

Is there any fix for this? Or is there something I am doing incorrect? I am using Windows btw. NodeJS version 18.16.1 GNU make v4.4.1 gcc v11.2.0

I appreciate any kind of support.

Same problem

[Ronak0020]

Apparently, installing it on linux worked, I used Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and the code seems to be working fine in linux. Haven't found a fix for windows yet. I tried to look for it everywhere I could but no luck.

Still broken on mac as well

make command has a windows version. Here is a guide: https://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm

The link to download the models was temporarily out of date and is unrelated to this Windows issue.
