Will not build on Windows 10 64-bit

[JonathanWilbur]

• Version: 0.5.2
• Platform: Windows 10 64-Bit Pro
• Subsystem: ipfs-core

Severity: Critical

Description:

I ran npm install ipfs-core to install. It worked, and during development, the types work, but when I compile, I get 67 errors that I will paste in my next comment.

Steps to reproduce the error:

Just install it on Windows 10 64-bit?

[ocknamo]

I had same errors.

This problem has been resolved by to enable skipLibCheck in tsconfig.

skipLibCheck: true

[achingbrain]

The next js-IPFS release should have vastly improved typings, but in the mean time yes - please set skipLibCheck: true.

[JonathanWilbur]

If it's cool with you, I'll just leave this issue open until the new typings release, since this is still a problem, even though there is a workaround. Thanks for all your great work! I <3 IPFS!
