Seems like the ffi node module doesn't build in node latest 9.4? It does work on the LTS version of node (8.9.x).
Couple of things to try:
npm install ffi
ought to repro this if its an ffi issue.It would certainly be nice to have this be fixed, so at some point we can move forward to 9.x when node LTS moves forward.
Seems like this may already have been reported, and apparently is also happening with node 8.6.3. See https://github.com/node-ffi/node-ffi/issues/448
@nikhilk Alright it's already filed, found the issue: https://github.com/node-ffi/node-ffi/issues/438 Closing and hoping it will be fixed soon!
Also, a quick question. Are you planning on having this library support only LTS releases?
Well, it would be great to be able to use any newer versions of node, not just LTS, but clearly we're a bit stuck on what is currently marked as LTS given the ffi bug.
I think the policy I'd like to follow is at least LTS is always supported, and ideally current too, but life on the bleeding edge can be overly interesting/painful, so opportunistic at best.
Please +1 the ffi issue; and yes, lets hope its fixed soon.
Sounds good, +1'nd both. Let's hope this gets cleared up as soon as possible.
