Fails on npm install

[JakeStanger]

npm install does not work due to the mediakeys module, throwing the error [email protected] install: node-gyp rebuild. I can't find any fix to this; is there a known workaround?

[elan]

It worked over here on macOS with node v8.1.3:

$ ❯ npm install

> [email protected] install /private/tmp/webhooks-notifications/node_modules/mediakeys
> node-gyp rebuild

[JakeStanger]

Perhaps this is just a Linux bug? I should have specified that really - I'm running Arch Linux. Is anybody able to test on another Linux machine?

[elan]

Ah yeah, it fails for me too on Linux with node 6.x, maybe it needs a newer node?

[JakeStanger]

Ah more useful information I neglected... I'm running node v8.0.0 so it seems not.

[ebeeson]

Note that the README for mediakeys mentions:

Linux requires apt-get install dbus, dbus-devel, or equivalent.

[JakeStanger]

I know for sure I have dbus installed and checked this several times trying to install mediakeys

[UnhealthyKraken]

This is all new to me, I'm trying to figure out why this isnt working for me. Can anyone shed some light?

@Biffaboy: It looks like you're running node v6. Can you try again with a more recent version of node?

@Biffaboy: now the logs look like it's complaining about your installed version of Visual Studio (or related tools)?

...
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V140\Microsoft.Cpp.Platform.targets(57,5): error MSB8020: The build tools for v120 (Platform Toolset = 'v120') cannot be found. To build using the v120 build tools, please install v120 build tools. Alternatively, you may upgrade to the current Visual Studio tools by selecting the Project menu or right-click the solution, and then selecting "Retarget solution". [C:\Users\USER\Documents\GitHub\webhooks-notifications\node_modules\mediakeys\build\win\keylistener.vcxproj]

I'm sorry, I don't have a Windows installation to try and reproduce this, but it seems like the problem you're having is related to building mediakeys. You might find more informative responses by asking about this over there.

[UnhealthyKraken]

@ebeeson Seems to be Media Keys, Ive resolved the issue with the tools, and seems mediakeys is the issue here.
