I try to install sync-prompt@0.4.0 and get an error. Is it a bug or my env misconfiguration?

Thanks.

Is it a bug or my env misconfiguration?

It's an issue with a lot of Windows environments. I have no clue what causes this. I tried compiling using Visual C++ 2013, and it works fine, but others have told me that they had both Visual C++ 2013 and Visual C++ 2012 installed on their machine, and things hit the fan.

And this doesn't just affect sync-prompt; this affects many other modules that are written in C++.

Currently, I'm reworking the code so that it is entirely written in JavaScript, instead of relying on C++.

Node.js' fs module has a method called readSync, that allows us to read data pointed by a file descriptor, instead of data pointed by a file name (typically, in most environments, you'd give a file name, and that environment will stream data to whatever is interested in the file's content).

Now, because we have the flexibility of providing whatever file descriptor we like, and also, because STDIN is a file descriptor itself, we can, therefore, pass STDIN to readSync, and then be able to read streamed data from it, just as we would from a file.

So let's see how that works out.

I've got VS2010 and VS2012 installed. I was able to install bcrypt lib:

The compiler can't find depended library and throw an error: "Cannot open include file: 'termios.h'". Any ideas?

Thanks for the heads up! Fixed, and you should be able to install sync-prompt@0.4.1.

Let me know if there are any more issues.
