Availability of node-gyp in build version of dockers

[sandeepzgk]

One important artifact that is missing from the lambda docker build image is node-gyp

@sandeepzgk I'm not sure what you mean?

$ find / -name node-gyp
/var/lang/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/node-gyp-bin/node-gyp
/var/lang/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp
/usr/local/lib64/node-v4.3.x/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/node-gyp-bin/node-gyp
/usr/local/lib64/node-v4.3.x/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp

To show that it works with npm:

$ npm install hiredis

> hiredis@0.5.0 install /var/task/node_modules/hiredis
> node-gyp rebuild

make: Entering directory `/var/task/node_modules/hiredis/build'

Going to close this, because node-gyp is definitely in the Node.js build images – but if you're seeing a specific error that you think is from something missing, let me know and I'll be happy to reopen.

i am not able to use node-gyp on the build-node6.10 image. I am installing it manually.

[sandeepzgk]

Here are the custom things i find necessary that are missing in the lambci/lambda:build-nodejs6.10 image

npm install -g node-gyp
yum install wget -y
yum install curl-devel -y

[mhart]

@sandeepzgk it's already on the image. You can see it in use if you install a native dependency as I showed here: #45 (comment)

See the node-gyp rebuild step?

If you're having problems, please paste the output of running the following command:

docker run lambci/lambda:build-nodejs6.10 npm install hiredis
