I am trying to install node-xmpp-coreon my windows system using npm.
(I tried using cygwin, but node -gyp would not exit cleanly when configured.)
I am using the standard cmd windows prompt. My team:
> npm install node-xmpp-core --msvs_version=2013
The error I get is ".. \ node -stringprep.cc (2): fatal error C1083: cannot open include: unicode / unistr.h file: there is no such file or directory." (Full conclusion below.)
Since I know that the compiler should look for this file, I downloaded the ICU libraries and set the INCLUDE environment variable:
> set INCLUDE
INCLUDE="C:\Program Files (x86)\icu\include"
What's happening?
I know from several searches on the Internet, in SO, and elsewhere that everything related to node-gyp on Windows is potentially vulnerable. But it seems so elementary.
gyp ( npm):
> node-stringprep@0.5.4 install C:\Users\jgruenhu\My Documents\code\centenario\jxgProj\node_modules\node-xmpp-core\node_modules\node-stringprep
> node-gyp rebuild
C:\Users\jgruenhu\My Documents\code\centenario\jxgProj\node_modules\node-xmpp-core\node_modules\node-stringprep>node "C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin\node-gyp-bin\\..\..\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\node-gyp.js" rebuild
