Cannot build on Windows

[timhunt]

(Sorry, this is probably not a very useful or important bug report, but reporting it just in case.)

The build fails on Windows (even though I'm not interested in running this directly on Windows. I just need it to work in the browser).

$ yarn install

I guess I can fire up a Linux VM as a work-around.

That's annoying 😕 seems like an issue iltorb. Have you installed the prerequisites they list here?

Thank you very much for looking at this.

I have not tried doing that, because from the error message, it was not clear that was a thing to try. I have windows build essentials, but not Python (but if that is the issue, it is not what the error says!) If I make more progress, I will let you know (however, right now, other things keep comming up, which take my time away from this.
