node-gyp rebuild failing

[MattIPv4]

Hi there,

When attempting to install integer on macOS Catalina (10.15), it fails during the node-gyp rebuild process.

Whilst I would assume therefor that this is most likely an issue with node-gyp in macOS Catalina at this stage during to it being a beta OS, but was wondering if anyone here knows a solution to this or if pre-built binaries could be packaged instead so that node-gyp isn't required during installation.

npm i integer

Hi all - I'm getting the same on Mojave.

This looks to be a python3 oriented gyp build error: TypeError: '>=' not supported between instances of 'tuple' and 'str'

I'm currently attempting to build using 3.7.4 with gyp. Have you tested this yet?

[aminpaks]

I finally made it work with Python v2.7 (latest Node v12.14.0, latest node-gyp v5.0.7)

I finally made it work with Python v2.7

This issue is about macOS Catalina and using Python 3 🤔
Python 2 is now EOL and shouldn't be used.

[aminpaks]

@MattIPv4 it's a long story, apparently there's an issue with node-gyp on npm. Npm ships an internal version of node-gyp (currently with v5.0.7) but the fix for Python3 is on node-gyp v6.0.1.

Also some people are trying to turn node-gyp to a js solution instead of using python. Read the full story here.

Let me know if this fixes it, before the install: npm i -g node-gyp@latest

This should be fixed with integer 3.0.0.
