Error at install

[anthonykozak]

Hi,
I just installed the latest nodejs, and libcurl, and had this error :

"5869 error Windows_NT 6.1.7601
5870 error argv "D:\programmes\nodejs\node.exe" "D:\programmes\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin\npm-cli.js" "install" "node-libcurl"
5871 error node v0.12.7
5872 error npm v2.11.3

5874 error node-libcurl@0.5.1 install: node tools/retrieve-win-deps && node tools/generate-stubs && pangyp rebuild
5874 error Exit status 1
5875 error Failed at the node-libcurl@0.5.1 install script 'node tools/retrieve-win-deps && node tools/generate-stubs && pangyp rebuild'.
5875 error This is most likely a problem with the node-libcurl package,
5875 error not with npm itself."

The complete log is here http://jpst.it/Ba8O.
Thank you for your help !
Best regards,

do you have python and git installed?

[anthonykozak]

yes
Python 2.7.10
git version 1.9.5.github.0
and visual studio 2013

here is the console log attached.

is there any other way to install node-libcurl ? like downloading a precompiled version and putting it in a specific path ?

Currently, there isn't.

I don't know exactly what is this problem that you are having, never saw it, but from what I could read, it's probably because you have a incorrect installation of Visual Studio.

Can you try reinstalling it? If possible try a more recent version, like Visual Studio 15

[anthonykozak]

ok I installed Visual Studio 2015 with C#, and C++ modules and it finally worked.

I guess the libcurl module can't work on linux, as it needs visual studio ?..
Can I maybe paste the compiled node_modules/node-libcurl folder from windows to my nodejs linux folder ?

[JCMais]

Visual Studio is a Windows only dependency, since its the most supported C++ compiler for that platform.
You don't need Visual Studio on Linux, your Linux distribution should already have a C++ compiler called gcc. Just make sure it's at the version 4.8 or above.

Also, pasting is not going to work, since it was compiled on a different os/architecture.
