Issue on OSX 10.10.5

Running npm install triggers a build error from node-gyp where make fails (exit code 69). Below is a new simulated error log:

Error: 'make' terminated unexpectedly.
at Loader.execute (/custom/path/buildModule.js:134:19)
System: Darwin 14.5.0
Command: "/usr/bin/node" "/custom/bin/build-runner.js" "rebuild"
Exit Code: 69

I experienced a similar node-gyp rebuild failure a while ago on a slightly different OSX version. I eventually found that updating my Xcode command line tools and reinstalling node was crucial. It turned out that some build dependencies were outdated and causing conflicts during the make process. After a thorough cleanup of outdated modules and confirming that node-gyp was correctly installed globally, the issue was resolved. Ensuring your system’s tools are in sync with the version dependencies of npm packages really helped in my situation and is something to keep in mind when troubleshooting similar errors.

hey, i ran into a similar error. updating xcode cmd tools and clearing npm cache fixed my build issue. sometimes old modules hurts so a fresh reinstall does the trick. good luck!

I encountered a similar issue a while back and resolved it by first checking that my environment recognized the expected versions of Python and other dependencies. It turned out that a misconfiguration in the path variables used by node-gyp was causing the build to fail. After carefully verifying the version settings and ensuring that my system’s make utility was correctly located, the build completed successfully. I would suggest reviewing environment variables and version configurations to confirm that they align with the requirements of your modules.

I had a similar node-gyp issue and resolved it after a thorough check of my environment settings. I discovered that some dependencies installed with Homebrew were out of date, which in turn affected my build tools even though Xcode command line tools were up-to-date. I reinstalled make and a few related libraries using Homebrew. After deleting node_modules and running a clean npm install, the error was resolved. I recommend verifying that all environmental paths and dependencies are correctly set, as misconfigured paths can lead to recurring issues during the build process.

hey, i solved it by switching node vers using nvm. i removed node_modules and reinstalled everything after downgrading. seems the latest node had some binary incompatibilty. give it a try if other fixes don’t work.
