How do I use the local built headers to build native?

[jrgleason]

• 15.0.0-pre:
• OSX:
• Headers (node-v15.0.0-pre-headers.tar.gz):

I am building node from source like this...

./configure --release-urlbase=/.../Code/node
make DISTTYPE=custom CUSTOMTAG=pre tar-headers
make
make install

When I run node -p process.release I see...

{
  name: 'node',
  sourceUrl: '/.../Code/nodev15.0.0-pre/node-v15.0.0-pre.tar.gz',
  headersUrl: '/.../Code/nodev15.0.0-pre/node-v15.0.0-pre-headers.tar.gz'
}

But when I run npm install I get...

What am I missing?

No surprise, they need to be actual URLs. Litmus test: if url.resolve() won't accept it, then neither will node-gyp.

I'm closing this but let me know if you have follow-up questions.

Let me trim that down to just "need to be actual URLs" - url.resolve() is notoriously forgiving in what it accepts, hence why it was superseded by the URL class. :-)

The tl;dr: must be HTTP or HTTPS URLs.

And sorry about closing, I thought this was posted in nodejs/node-gyp for some reason.
