Hi, I have tried to install node-iconv into my nw project.
But it could not install.

Probably same reason of Issue #89, arguments of MakeWeak.

Please check and fix it.

Thank you and best regards,

abeq

I can't help you with node-iconv, but want to make sure you are aware of https://github.com/ashtuchkin/iconv-lite which is pure-js.

Mr./Ms. Szwacz

Thank you for your reply.
But I need to use ShiftJIS, encoding for Japanese and iconv-lite does not support it.

I'm confident Jakub Szwacz is a Mr. :)

If you're having trouble compiling node-iconv you're probably using this on Windows. I assume you want to read a ShiftJIS encoded file. I can't help with node-iconv, but depending on your requirements you could use the Chromium FileReader instead. I believe Chromium natively supports ShiftJIS. It doesn't convert between encodings though.

Hi, abeq.

I had a same problem in my node-webkit application.
So I created the module for the encodings commonly used in Japanese( Shift_JIS, EUC-JP and ISO-2022-JP ).

I hope you will find it helpful.
thanks.
