`libsass` bindings not found. Try reinstalling `node-sass`? (Windows) about sc5-styleguide

[hannu]

I'm not able to reproduce this. Could give more information about your setup?
Did npm installation complete without any errors?

[liyuankui]

@hannu Thanks for your feedback.
Maybe it's because I'm tackling it on windows?

My Windows PC

npm install sc5-styleguide finished without error.

I used node bin/styleguide --output demo-output --source ./lib/app --config ./lib/app/styleguide_config.json --server --watch to run the demo since the batch file can't start on windows with npm run demo.

and it outputs error

The problem can also be reproducible with node versions > 0.11.1 and is related to dlmanning/gulp-sass#185.

I'm closing the issue but it can be reopened if needed
