I am using VisualStudio 2012 and run on a windows 7 machine.
I want to execute the command make all under my windows machine. For this I installed Make for Windows.
Furthermore, I want to compile node library talib.
I opened the make file to execute the commands by nodeJS itself. That`s the command I want to run:
cd ./src/lib && node build.js && cd ../../ && node-gyp configure && node-gyp build
The first part, runs well:
cd ./src/lib && node build.js
However, running the second partcd ../../ && node-gyp configure && node-gyp build, I get several errors:
Kalimini@Kalimini-PC ~/nodeWorkspace/TestProject/node_modules/node-talib-master/sr
c/lib (master)
$ cd ../../ && node-gyp configure && node-gyp build

I also tried node-gyp configure --msvs_version=2012 however, this gives me the same result.
Any recommendation what I am doing wrong?
unistd.h is a UNIX header file, not found by default on windows.
Either replace unistd.h with io.h for almost the same coverage, or use the GNU windows port found here
Related: Is there a replacement for unistd.h for Windows (Visual C)?
Edit: I just compiled the module with #include <unistd.h> commented out successfully in file src/talib.cpp line 31
