This worked. Thank you jmh530!

I feel like at this moment, lubeck should be clearly marked "not 
Windows ready", as not everybody will have the 
inclination/patience to deal with incompatible object file 
formats or the Windows subsystem for Linux.

I wonder if compiling OpenBlas from source using DMC would solve 
this. I also wonder if the resulting binaries would be as fast.
