Node headers missing

Open bsrdjan opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

Would it be possible to fetch also node headers from https://nodejs.org/dist, when installing a node version by nvm install? Linux/macOS nvm installs also headers and I don't see them installed on Windows.

@bsrdjan - it's certainly possible. Additional version-specific logic would need to be added to he download mechanism since headers haven't always been a part of the distribution. In other words, something would need to check whether the headers are available or not and install accordingly. The goal is to make sure installing older versions of node don't break.

Realistically, I probably won't have time to do this, but I would accept a PR.
