Node-fs-ext and Windows 10 #80

I'm rather new to node.js, so I'm still learning how things work in this eco system. With several modules which need some compiling, when trying to install, that process complains about fs-ext. Mosca for example. I get an "Unable to install fs-ext using npm: error C3861: 'fcntl': identifier not found". I did some googling and found this topic which suggest to contact the maintainer of fs-ext and ask to fix the npm version as well, since it's fixed an the Github version. Is this correct? And if so, would you kindly fix the npm version as well? My skills don't allow for fixing it myself yet.

I lately found out it's possible to install directly from the Github site. This should do the trick: npm install https://www.npmjs.com/package/fs-ext. Will test this.

Yes, this method of installing works. Since I switched to Raspberry Pi, I won't do any further testing if it solves things.
