Building from source on Node 11 fails

[pulquero]

Version 11 helpfully installs Windows build tools making the whole process a bit less painful. Unfortunately, it seems to try to run two copies of node-pre-gyp at the same time:

Installing NodeRT UWP adapter for Windows.Storage.Streams node-pre-gyp ERR! Tried to download(404): https://github.com/jasongin/noble-uwp/releases/download/windows_storage_streams_0.15063.1/binding-v0.15063.1-node-v67-win32-x64.tar.gz node-pre-gyp ERR! Pre-built binaries not found for [email protected] and [email protected] (node-v67 ABI) (falling back to source compile with node-gyp) node-pre-gyp ERR! Tried to download(undefined): https://github.com/jasongin/noble-uwp/releases/download/windows_storage_streams_0.15063.1/binding-v0.15063.1-node-v67-win32-x64.tar.gz node-pre-gyp ERR! Pre-built binaries not found for [email protected] and [email protected] (node-v67 ABI) (falling back to source compile with node-gyp)

Which leads to an error like:

File "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\node_modules\node-gyp\gyp\pylib\gyp\common.py", line 393, in close os.rename(self.tmp_path, filename) WindowsError: [Error 183] Cannot create a file when that file already exists

Using the script below, I could manually build the modules, then run npm rebuild noble-uwp to finish off. Hopefully, this may help someone else.
