Error Summary

The errors indicate that the NewOrCopy method is not a member of the Napi::Buffer<char> class, which is causing the build to fail.

i am using mono repo with pnpm workspace, i am not able to get the proper logs which you are asking for using npm command

can you provide pnpm command which i can try, and for empty dir i don't have direct access to machine at the moment, i am using http://render.com for deploying my service,

i know you also can't do anything without any proper logs, but from my end i am able to provide you this information, if you can guide me i am able to help here better

[lovell]

The partial logs shown here suggest you're trying to compile sharp from source against a globally-installed libvips. Is that what you intended? If not, e.g. perhaps Render has pre-installed libvips, then you can set the SHARP_IGNORE_GLOBAL_LIBVIPS environment variable at install time to skip this logic.
