NPM, Node-gyp and C1xx: fatal error C1083

[Mikael]

Hello all.

I've got some major problems with installing certain NPM packages on my Windows workbox. Some packages throw errors, like socket.io (below). Others fail more disastrously, like Sails that throws errors at installation and locks up the machine at runtime, requiring a hard reset.

This are the errors I get when running 'npm -g install socket.io'. 

bufferutil.cc

I've followed the installation instructions on node-gyp, tried with both VC2010 and VS2012. Same thing.

Versions:

node v0.8.25

npm v1.2.30

node-gyp v0.10.9

python 2.7.5

Visual Studio 2012 Express For Desktop

Windows 7 64-bit SDK

The last four are only there as requirements for building npm packages. I have no experience with VC/VS, C/C++, Python or Node-gyp. Consequently, searching for solutions on "c1xx : fatal error C1083" didn't result in anything I could apply and "node-gyp c1xx" lands an issue with node-sass, but that hit didn't help me resolve this either.

Help much appreciated.

1. Its not socket.io that causes this error but a dependency.

2. Its probably not even an error as building native extensions for the dependency in question here is optional.

3. You should install modules locally, not globally unless they are command line apps.

If npm exited with OK it was all fine and dandy. But i dont see an okay or a not okay from the output you posted so I imagine you didnt include it and the modules were correctly installed

Well, I'd like to have them dependencies compile properly as well. :) 

I just made a new install of mongoose and relized it throws errors too,  or rather Kerberos does. 

C:\Users\Mikael\.node-gyp\0.8.25\Release\node.lib : fatal error LNK1127: library is corrupt [d:\Dev\Node\mongo\node_modules\mongoose\node_modules\mongodb\node_modules\kerberos\build\kerberos.vcxproj]

NPM exits OK, but it is still supposed to build on Windows if VC/VS is installed, isn't it? 

Cheers

Mikael.

Make sure you run those commands in a command  prompt with administrator rights.

Thanks. I do already. It makes no difference.
