Windows support? #13

Open praveentiru opened 3 years ago

praveentiru commented 3 years ago

Hi,

I was trying this out on Windows 10 in Git Shell. I have run into the following issues:

  1. Starter tries to create a symlink for certain assets - Unless windows shell has admin privileges, script cannot create symlink
  2. spawn to create child processes fails - Adding shell: true to startCommand in elm-starter fixes this issue
  3. serverDev and watchStartElm are not recognized as commands - I get the following error after fixing the issues listed above: ~elm\material-front-end/src-elm-starter/elm-starter' is not recognized as an internal or external command

I believe for some reason the command getting executed is elm-starter serverDev rather than node elm-starter serverDev etc. I am unable to figure out why this is happening in Windows. I can work on a patch for the same with little guidance.
