I downloaded the latest code, but I'm not able to build it with the setup from over a year ago which was able to build it. What versions should I be using?
I'm getting the following error:
platform.system(): Windows

I can build the version from August 2023 without any issues.

I've recently moved a number of dependencies out of scribe/libs into lgi/deps. I'm still fixing the various scripts that do things. To that end I've committed some changes to the build script so that at least on windows it builds out of the box again. I think the only external dependency is openssl. All the rest are downloaded and built by scripts.
