Build fails with GCC version 10.1.0

[acheronfail]

I've noticed that building appmetrics with the latest version of gcc fails. I've tried this on multiple node versions (10, 12 & 13).

The last good working version of gcc is 9.3.0. Building it with 10.1.0 fails with the following output:

Some information about my system:

Arch Linux 5.4.41-1-lts x86_64 GNU/Linux

And I've confirmed the issue fails to build with gcc 10.1.0 on various node versions:

10.19.0
10.20.1
12.16.3
13.6.0

Downgrading to gcc 9.3.0 resolves the issues for me.

same problem here! do we have plans on fixing this ?

@acheronfail I actually realized that I have the same issue as you and the same system since we both work at the same place and are falling with the same project. How did you manage to solve this issue? I tried to find you on slack but could not find you based on your GitHub username alone

[acheronfail]

Depending on what I'm doing I do one of two things:

• downgrade my gcc and gcc-libs packages to V9
• ignore the errors during install and manually run the postinstall hooks myself

For people who would rather not downgrade several major gcc versions just for this 1 package, the following works for me and I hope will help you too:

1) install gcc 9.30 separately using a package manager or whichever method you like

2) When installing something that depends on appmetrics, use:

env CC=/path/to/gcc-9 npm install
