Build fails on Windows MINGW64 under Node@18.0.0

Originally posted here: parcel-bundler/parcel#7992, and looks like it may be an upstream issue here in lmdb:

Installs fine under node@16.14.2. (=

This project has already been upgraded to support Node@18 with prebuilds for V18, which hopefully should apply in MinGW, just working on upgrading parcel to use the latest version. In the meantime, if you want to manually force it, I think you could try using a package override with something like: "overrides": { "parcel@2.5.0": { "lmdb": "2.3.5" }} I will take a look at why manual compiles are not working on MinGW though.

I wasn't able to reproduce any issues with manually building lmdb-js through the MinGW terminal on my computer. But windows builds can be a fickle beast (kinda one of the main reasons we provide prebuilds). Do you have the output with --verbose in case that has more clues? (not clear why it wouldn't be able to open C:\Users\ec\AppData\Local\node-gyp\Cache\18.0.0\include\node\v8config.h, I assume it got downloaded.)

(of course once the parcel/lmdb upgrade is in place you should just have prebuilt binaries to use)

Unfortunately, I'm not actively a parcel user — only ran into this while I was going through a "learn React" tutorial.

If you can't reproduce, and suspect this will be fixed in an upcoming release, feel free to just close this — if you are suspicious it's a real issue, and can provide me specific commands I can run on the machine that produced the original error, I can attempt them … but I have very limited time to contribute, unfortunately!

I know, the worst kind of drive-by Issue reporting. I'm so sorry, heh.

No problem, updated windows prebuilds, once they are released, should fix this for virtually all windows users, I believe :).
