I can't build and run this on Windows

[lovettchris]

Is this a cmark, lean or lake problem?

lake build
error: failed to execute `cc`: no such file or directory (error code: 2)

I can built it iusing msys2, and I get libleancmark.dll but then the binaries don't work on windows either...

#eval main ["README.md"]

results in a crash in the lean --server saying:

libc++abi: terminating with uncaught exception of type lean::exception: could not find native implementation of external declaration 'CMark.renderHtml' (symbols 'l_CMark_renderHtml___boxed' or 'l_CMark_renderHtml')

For the first problem, it's that cc (clang) is not installed on your machine.
The second one arises as that the native part is statically linked, which makes interactive #eval impossible.

Maybe reimplment a parser with pure Lean can be a better idea than fixing this. I'll take some time to do it in my spare time this week.
