npm install grunt-takana在node-gyp重建时失败

Question

I am trying to install grunt-takana but it one of its prerequisites for Windows, node-gyp seems very problematic.

In cmd , when I try npm install grunt-takana I get following errors after node-gyp rebuild :

nodefsevents.cc
..\\nodefsevents.cc(11): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'pthread.h ': No such file or directory (...)

and at the end another one:

Binary is fine; exiting
npm ERR! fsevents@0.1.6 install: node-gyp rebuild
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the fsevents@0.1.6 install script.

When I try manual node-gyp rebuild in c:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node_modules\\npm\\node_modules\\node-gyp I receive a bit more specific error:

gyp: binding.gyp not found (cwd: c:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node_modules\\npm\\node_m odules\\node-gyp) while trying to load binding.gyp

So far I've installed:
- node v0.10.32
- node-gyp v1.0.2
- Python 2.6 (tried also 2.7.9)
- MS Visual Studio 2013 (Ultimate)
- MS .NET Framework SDK 2.0

It looks like grunt-takana is expecting a Unix style threading library ( pthread.h ). The official takana docs do not say Windows is supported:

Currently, Takana supports OSX, Linux and Sublime Text 2 & 3.
