Problems Building Site

[Edward Ost]

I am trying to follow the tutorial referenced in codelab tools github home page  https://medium.com/zarinlo/publish-technical-tutorials-in-google-codelab-format-b07ef76972cd  .

I have downloaded all the pre-requisites and I am trying to run NPM install from the site directory.  But I get an error returned from gyp.  I've attached the full log, but here is the subset with the error:

npm ERR! gyp ERR! configure error

Some potentially unusual details about my system.  I am running Ubuntu  on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

I have python3 installed so I set the npm to us it

    npm config set python /usr/bin/python3

I am using python 3.8.10.

Seems I have thesame error. Did you find a fix for this?

[Khalil Hammami]

you may need to use an old version of node, try to use node v14 to build/serve the site (I'm using nvm to manage node versions)

[Zarin Lokhandwala]

I fixed all the build issues a few months ago. 

However, it requires the approval of at least two people that manage the Google project. I have received the approval from one, but cannot proceed until someone else merges the branch in. 

Please fork the PR I submitted. There are no more errors. 

My GitHub handle is @zarinlo.

I just also encountered this error, upping this so that @zarin PR is finally accepted

In the meantime, cloning her repo instead worked, although multiple deprecation warnings: https://github.com/zarinlo/tools/commits/master/

Thanks @zarin for your continue work on this!

[Zarin Lokhandwala]

Been waiting for years at this point 🫠

Marc did his best to get it accepted. 

Honestly, I can just share my personal repo here and you can clone that, it has the fix.
