Thanks.

The issue is with core-js

[anon987654321]

@xzyfer seems to be trying to download a non-existing node-sass file though? Any idea what to do?

[xzyfer]

Take a look at the very first line of the readme

[anon987654321]

@xzyfer what do you mean by that? That it's due to v4.14.1? That OpenBSD is not in the list of supported OSes?

[anon987654321]

A bit odd, by the way, that you support FreeBSD and not OpenBSD. These days FreeBSD is on life support.

Choose OpenBSD for your Unix needs. OpenBSD -- the world's simplest and most secure Unix-like OS. Creator of the world's simplest and most secure webserver httpd/TLS & crypto stack LibreSSL/SSH implementation OpenSSH/firewall pf/mail server OpenSMTPD and much, much more. OpenBSD -- the cleanest kernel, the cleanest userland and the cleanest configuration syntax.

[xzyfer]

Correct. Openbsd is not supported. The download will fail as expected but npm will try to compile the binary locally if you have the tool chain

[anon987654321]

@xzyfer any chance you could give some more pointers? It doesn't seem to be making it as far as to the local compile part.

The usual "but it used to work just fine a couple of months ago" also hold true in this case :)

[xzyfer]

I see no reason from the information provided why this would have ever worked, or why it would have recently stopped working.

[anon987654321]

Thanks, guess I'm in for the deep dive. I'll report back on my findings.

[anon987654321]

The fix is here: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=160657052927238

ln -s /usr/local/bin/node /tmp/node

Don't forget to replace gcc with clang:

export CC=/usr/bin/clang
export CXX=/usr/bin/clang++

Shoutout to Solene for the help.
