ERROR: Failed building wheel for cffi

[stear541]

When doing make configure I am getting some "building wheel" errors. Trying this through Git Bash on a Windows OS. I am a bit new to this sort of stuff. Any tips? Thanks!

`Building wheels for collected packages: cffi, PyNaCl

I haven't tried the bot using Git bash for windows myself. I primarily use WSL for this bot, so I would suggest using that instead. A similar question was raised as well though so I'll take a shot at it and keep you posted @stear541

WSL worked just fine, thanks!
