Install fails on Synology NAS
I've tried to install this package on my NAS drive, but it seems to fail towards the end, has anyone got any pointers or ideas what might be causing this (I've used Linux on and off for a while but by no means an expert - so apologies in advance if the solution is obvious)
This is an extract of the install log file -
1130 info install [email protected]

Well, that log doesn't really say anything. Do you have the required build tools installed (e.g. gcc, g++, make, python 2.7+)?
In my Syno box it says:
gyp ERR! build error
gyp ERR! stack Error: not found: make
gyp ERR! stack at F (/volume1/@appstore/Node.js/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/which/which.js:43:28)

The problem is with that we do not have make or build-essentials, nothing to do with mariasql.
Installing ipkg and then make:
make: Entering directory /volume1/XXXX/node_modules/mariasql/build' Makefile:1: /env.mak: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target/env.mak'. Stop.

@Eusebiotrigo The /env.mak: No such file or directory error seems like a common problem with Synology judging by google results. So my guess is it has something to do with the build environment that they provide. Perhaps make is too old or something? I know node itself require (gnu) Make 3.81+ for example.
You might also check the version of Python that's installed. 2.7.x is what I typically use.
