gd_errors.h?

[Pinny3]

Question:

In

https://github.com/y-a-v-a/node-gd/blob/master/src/node_gd.cc

the file

gd_errors.h

is referenced but it seems there is no file called gd_errors.h in the repo. Is this file missing by accident?

When I do a

npm install

on a LinuxKit environment I got this error:

Hi!
The error refers to a file from libgd, being https://github.com/libgd/libgd/blob/master/src/gd_errors.h
node-gd is a package that creates bindings in C++ between NodeJS and the library libgd. To be able to build these bindings, you need the source files of libgd.
node-gyp is a package that will search in configured places for these source files. My guess is that your system is missing the libgd files.
Dependening on the system you're working on, you will need to install libgd. See the README.md for further info.

Cheers,
Vincent
