Node-gyp: Error: `gyp` failed with exit code: 1 at ChildProcess.onCpExit

[LizanLycan]

Description:
I tried to install several packages and I got the same error. The question is what happens when I want to configure: node-gyp configure --msvs_version = 2015

gyp info spawn C:USER.windows-build-toolspython27pythonw.exe

I'm not in front of a Windows system right now to check but does gyp work with pythonw.exe? If not then the question is whether this is a misconfiguration or fault in the python finding code.

[LizanLycan]

@richardlau well, change to the next addres: C:\USER\.windows-build-tools\python27\python.exe, but, it still doesn't work. Try setting node-gyp --python /path/to/python2.7, but do not grab this configuration. I have already compiled packages with node-gyp, and they work fine, but now this error appeared with some packages that I need, and I still do not solve!

[joaocgreis]

@LizanLycan can you try removing the spaces around = in your command?

node-gyp configure --msvs_version=2015

If that doesn't work, add --verbose or even --silly to get more output.

[LizanLycan]

@joaocgreis Still does not work. I tried again with: node-gyp --python /path/to/python2.7 and the same error, because its a global configuration

Same problem after update to nodejs 8 !

Closing this out because it's been dormant for over a month. If it's still an issue, please provide the requested logs.

[bnoordhuis]

@sanelib pkg-config is an external tool and not normally available on Windows. Try reaching out to the authors of the package you are trying to install, perhaps Windows isn't supported.

After I input command: node-gyp rebuild, I find following error:

[gibfahn]

@jeanru you need to run node-gyp rebuild in a directory that contains a binding.gyp.

[jeanru]

@gibfahn Thanks, I have fixed this issue by creating binding.gyp file manually, and then run node-gyp rebuild

[dhBunny]

I am getting this error every time I run a node-gyp command and when I try to install enmap and quick.db

I have Node.js v12.13.0, npm v6.12.0 and Python 2.7.16
In my directory, there is a binding.gyp file I created myself, it is empty as I don't know if I have to add anything.

[Sentero-esp12]

I'm getting the same error as above. Detailed: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/1969 (P.S. The fix was to rename this folder C:Users[username] to English, without spaces)
binding.gyp should contain something like this:
{ "targets": [ { "target_name": "addon", "sources": [ "addon.cc" ] } ] }

[dhBunny]

Alright, thank you so much!

[dhBunny]

But how should I fix the error I am getting? Would adding that to binding.gyp fix the error?

[Sentero-esp12]

In my case the error was because of a folder name. The fix was to rename this folder C:Users\[username] to English, without spaces (it's important to google how to change it correctly).
