install fails at node-gyp rebuild [windows and Linux]

See original GitHub issue

0.6.2 version worked well on all the platforms. I just updated to v1.0.0 which fails at node-gyp rebuild on windows and Linux. It’s probably because of the latest version of keyboard layout module.

Platform - Ubuntu 14.04 node - v6…9.4 Logs - linux

➜  electron-spellchecker git:(master) npm install

> keyboard-layout@2.0.10 install /home/akash/dev/electron-spellchecker/node_modules/keyboard-layout
