[dahal]

Same here.

[shackpank]

Seeing the same error on node 0.10.30, version 0.10.28 builds with no problems.

[jamiebuilds]

Seems to be caused by this: https://github.com/chjj/pty.js/blob/18238d37e2915b3ac97e4ae0d5cb3e33f76ac758/src/unix/pty.cc#L36

Related: https://github.com/chjj/pty.js/pull/78

[samccone]

+1 +1 +1

node v0.10.31

[akwangho]

same issue + 1 in v0.10.28 Using nvm switch back to v0.10.27 then everything works.

[bitspook]

Still not building with node 10.31

[akwangho]

Found a workaround here and it works in v0.10.31 https://github.com/petethepig/devtools-terminal/issues/41#issuecomment-50264402

[KylePDavis]

As @thejameskyle mentioned this build error seems to have been fixed in #78. The main issue now is that a v0.2.5 version hasn't been released yet.

To simplify what @akwangho had found, you can use npm to install from the git repo directly like this until v0.2.5 is released:

npm install git+https://github.com/chjj/pty.js.git

[samccone]

even simpler @KylePDavis

npm i chjj/pty.js --save

[jpillora]

Thanks @samccone

[stevenvachon]

@KylePDavis @samccone, neither of those work on my Mac:

$ npm install git+https://github.com/chjj/pty.js.git
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/extend
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/nan
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/extend

[aredridel]

Do you have a /usr/include/util.h

That is, I think you've perhaps not got Xcode and SDK installed if that doesn't exist.

[stevenvachon]

I don't have /usr/include/util.h, but I have Xcode installed. What other SDKs do I need?

[aredridel]

MacOS SDK, rather than just the IOS one?

[stevenvachon]

Installing command line dev tools fixed it; is that another name for or a part of the MacOS SDK?

Will there ever be a binary distribution of pty.js made available for simpler installs and for building node-webkit apps without VMs or clusters.

[aredridel]

Yeah, that installs the MacOS SDK.

[aredridel]

Binary distributions are tough because it's a cross product between node versions and operating systems.

[stevenvachon]

Could it be done with Travis-CI and AppVeyor?

[chrissexton]

Can v0.2.5 be released so we can use the npm registry again?

[tonyennis]

+1 looking forward to v0.2.5

[srathbun]

+1

[cades]

+1 node v0.10.32

[MunGell]

+1 waiting for the fix

[samccone]

npm i chjj/pty.js --save

This is still the valid fix, until a new release is pushed

[apendua]

@samccone Thank for the fix :)

:+1:

[nooitaf]

@samccone Thank for the fix :) Works with node 0.10.35, osx
