Hy..

Tried installing node-theseus with "npm install -g node-theseus" on windows 8 but get this compile error

  bufferutil.cc

  validation.cc

Actually this compile error is related to ws dependency.. Still, its preventing me to install node-theseus

Unfortunately, I know close to nothing about compiling native code on Windows. :(

It looks like it's been reported all over the place. First couple Google results for the error are bug reports on node-xmpp, node-xmpp again, GeoIP, and node-postgres and they have to do with using Node 0.11. Maybe some of those answers can help if you're into fixing things locally to get by? Otherwise, you probably want to report this to ws.

I temporary found a solution. I downloaded nan.h from their repo and placed it inside visual studio's "include" directory.

Excellent :)
