i've been working with NodeJS 0.11.x distros for some time now, mainly because i believe that generators and the yield statement bring big advances in terms of asynchronous manageability (see coffy-script<https://github.com/loveencounterflow/coffy-script>and suspend <https://github.com/loveencounterflow/coffeenode-suspend>). that said, there's a serious setback when running bleeding-edge, unstable NodeJS installs: when doing npm install xy-module, gyp will fail (always? sometimes?) when trying to compile any C components. is there a general reason this must be so? is there any trick / patch / configuration i can apply to remedy the situation? if a given module does compile on NodeJS 0.10.x, but fails on 0.11.x, should i expect it to compile on 0.12.x as soon as that becomes available? thanks for sharing any thoughts. -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
