Hi i created a node addon and uploaded it to npm. but when trying to "npm install --save mymodule" in another normal windows pc it gave me an error that something related to the 'msbuild' (i think the tool that i use to build to addon) how can i make my addon work on just 'npm install' it? i red your reply but i don't understand. do i need to install every single OSes, build the addon there and copy the .node file in to one folder? -- Job board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ New group rules: https://gist.github.com/othiym23/9886289#file-moderation-policy-md Old group rules: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
