Panic building on Windows running: "rm" "-rf" ".termbox" (file not found)

I experienced a panic when building termbox-sys on Windows as a dependency of the rex crate.

The output looked like this:

error: failed to run custom build command for `termbox-sys v0.2.12`

Caused by:
  process didn't exit successfully: `C:\Users\build\AppData\Local\Temp\cargo-installKElqYD\release\build\termbox-sys-2c803b9c27aec6fd\build-script-build` (exit code: 101)

Same with me:

For me, termbox-sys was a dependency of rustbox

wanna know how to solve this, 😢

This error has never been addressed?
This command in the build.rs is simply unsupported in Windows...
