Cannot build project on Windows

[jsantell]

There are bash commands in npm scripts that do not work on Windows.

Related #232, #248, #234

Also we should no longer require java (closure compiler) to build this project.

how to fix this problem?

[jsantell]

Not use npm scripts (that execute in shell) in package.json but instead call node scripts.

EDIT: Please see the comment below for already-built files instead of building your own.

@jbrthroque you can modify the package.json locally if you're in a hurry.

• Remove all references to the _mkdir script
• Manually create a folder named "build" at root level (alongside index.html, src, etc.)
• Replace semicolons with ampersands in all scripts (e.g., the "build" script should look like: "build": "npm run build-min & npm run build-dev & npm run build-api")
• You should be able to do npm run build without errors now.

The links in this PR provide links to the built files in the mean time: https://github.com/googlevr/vrview/pull/262

I followed the instructions given by @jose-torres-marin and I end up with an error:

missing script: browserify

[jsantell]

try npm install -g browserify

[ksaylor11]

Still has issues. I've attached the output of running npm run build

result.txt

[jsantell]

Looks like you need browserify installed as a global: npm install -g browserify

[ksaylor11]

The results I just posted were after installing browserify globally

@ksaylor11 Since the readme was updated with direct links to built files, hopefully this is no longer an issue.
