I also get the following error (Windows 10): FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified

It happens in the build-win.py in this part

def _mergelibs(arch, scheme, ssl_root):
    out_lib = OUT_LIB % {'scheme': scheme}
    if os.path.exists(os.path.join(OUT_PATH, out_lib)):
        os.remove(os.path.join(OUT_PATH, out_lib))
    libs = _getlibs(arch, scheme, ssl_root)
    command = ['lib.exe', '/OUT:out\%s' % out_lib]
    command.extend(libs)
    subprocess.call(command, cwd=HOME_PATH)

A workaround is using Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt.

I managed to work around this by adding the path to lib.exe to environment variables. So now I manage to get the owt-debug.lib.

Of course I still couldn't use it because of LNK2019 dependencie problems (socket.io, openssl, intel msdk...). For example, right now I am trying to solve: owt-debug.lib(time_utils.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp_timeGetTime referenced in function "__int64 __cdecl rtc::SystemTimeNanos(void)" (?SystemTimeNanos@rtc@@YA_JXZ)
