Fails on Windows 7 x64

[Fleshgrinder]

My guess is because it is only meant for Linux, right?

node-gyp configure && mkdir -p deps && cd deps && curl 'https://codeload.github.com/fletcher/peg-multimarkdown/tar.gz/3.7' | tar zxvf - && mv peg-multimarkdown-* peg-multimarkdown && cd peg-multimarkdown && CFLAGS='- fPIC -Wall -O3 -include GLibFacade.h -I ./ -D MD_USE_GET_OPT=1 -D_GNU_SOURCE' make && cd ../../ && node-gyp build

What error do you see?

I imagine it'll be related to dtjm/node-multimarkdown#13, I'm not sure that it has been fixed in node-multimarkdown

[Fleshgrinder]

Indeed it seems to be the same problem, relying on curl and trying to call make will not work well with Windows. I guess the original module has to be updated, right?

Can't you install cURL on Windows? http://curl.haxx.se/download.html

[Fleshgrinder]

Sure, but what about the tar and especially the make calls? Windows needs special binaries.
