Hi,

I am trying to build nwjs from source and on the step "Build Node", after running the ninja -C out/Release node command I am getting the following error -

ninja: Entering directory `out/Release'
[1/1] SOLINK lib/libnode.so

Please advice on how do I resolve this.

I am currently encountering this. Were you able to resolve this?

I was building debug version of NW.js and release version of Node.js which is why I was getting this error. Once I built the debug version of Node.js, it worked for me.
