[UsmanMuhammad]

Environment

• Package version(s): 5.0.0-alpha.0
• Operating System: Windows 11
• Browser name and version: Chrome V114.0.5735.134

Code Sandbox

Steps to reproduce

1. Clone the repo
2. Run Yarn
3. Run Yarn Verify

While trying to install windows-build-tools, it says "Node.js now includes build tools for Windows. You probably no longer need this tool." and the command fails.

Actual behavior

Doesn't compile one package.
Error:
1/15 targets failed, including the following:
- @blueprintjs/docs-data:compile

[docs-data] ERROR when generating JSON docs data:
file:///C:/Users/path/blueprint/packages/docs-data/compile-docs-data.mjs:32

Expected behavior

Should compile all packages and run the app

Possible solution

No Idea

@UsmanMuhammad there may be issues developing Blueprint from source in a Windows environment. Unfortunately we don't have the bandwidth to test & maintain all our development tools in Windows, and we rely on community support to get it working when there are issues. If you are able to fix this dev task in your environment, please share your solution and/or send a PR :)
