It seems it here: https://github.com/neon-bindings/neon/blob/master/crates/neon-runtime/package.json#L10

nan should be in dependencies section instead of devDependencies, after I move it there - it compiles.

[Lin-H]

I have the similar problem
window 7 64bit
node 8.11.3
Rust 1.27.2 stable msvc

LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'build\Release\obj\neon\neon.obj'
exit code: 1181

haven't solve it yet 😢

[jjpe]

Has anything been done with this yet?
FTR: It seems that @kanekv's suggestion about the dependency/devDependency issue in neon-runtime/package.json works, at least over here on a fresh Ubuntu system.

[Lin-H]

I fixed it. My problem it's not the dependency. It's my Python, I reinstall Python 2.7 and it works.

This was fixed in 367.
