npm install memwatch-next fails

[reynot]

Hi

When I tried to install memwatch-next on node v0.12.4 it fails with the following debug output. It is trying to rebuild the project. Is this expected? Not very experienced in this, should it not install without requiring a local build.

When I installed Python and node-gyp, it then built the project using VS2010 I happened to have installed but came up with a large amount of warnings. When I tested it, I did not get the stats or leak callbacks when running the example.

Apologies if this is a daft question but it looks a really useful module.

Thanks

Tim

Does not support on node.js v.0.12 #62

hi, if you're using my fork memwatch-next... node.js 0.12 is supported...

the error you're experiencing is related to system setup, python... on windows npm is painful sometime...

Try reinstalling python and make sure its in your PATH. Then try npm install memwatch again.
