For installing Contextify on Windows, see:

• contextify fails to install brianmcd/contextify#10
• contextify fails to install brianmcd/contextify#12

I'll add some documentation on installation issues/windows to the Contextify README sometime in the next few days.

Same issue here.

Windows doesn't support native modules right now, and contextify is a native module. The only way around it would be to not use contextify somehow or change contextify to work without a native module. Or wait for native module support in windows.

Ideally jsdom could be changed to use the built in 'vm' module instead of contextify: http://nodejs.org/docs/v0.6.3/api/vm.html

However, it may be that jsdom cannot operate as it does now using the 'vm' module so switching to the 'vm' module might require removing some features from jsdom that existing code relies on.

[MarcDiethelm]

I'm seeing this on Macos as well.

[joshchan]

On Mac OS X you need to first install Xcode, or something else that provides gcc.

[bojanbjelic]

Same issue.
Create an issue on npm first, and npm / @isaacs commented:

"This is a jsdom bug. It should list contextify as an optionalDependency, or not use it at all. node-waf will never work on windows."
(https://github.com/isaacs/npm/issues/2061#issuecomment-3569282)

Is it possible that contextify can be optional here?

[brianmcd]

See: #398 . You should also be able to build Contextify on Windows using node-gyp and the latest Contextify master (https://github.com/brianmcd/contextify).

[thisandagain]

I'm seeing this on MacOS with the latest version of XCode (4.3.1) installed as well.

[brianmcd]

Are you running the latest node? If not, try installing 0.6.12. There were some issues with 0.6.11 being distributed as a 32-bit binary, but the workarounds to fix that broke the install for some other people. 0.6.12 is a fat binary, and things should just work now with 0.6.12.

[thisandagain]

Yup... Node 0.6.12:

[brianmcd]

Ok, thanks. Working on this now.

[brianmcd]

I think this should be fixed now. Somehow my build/ folder got into the npm package, even though my .npmignore file has build/ in it. Thanks for the heads up.

Edit: you might need to do an npm cache clean to get rid of the cached bad package.

[thisandagain]

Thank you for the quick patch! Looks good.
