nw-gyp build error

[RichardFoss]

I got the error output shown below when I tried to build the npm cap module (Mac). I see that I do have the makefile.

Is it correct that If I use an LTS version of node.js, I will not need to use nw-gyp? The latest LTS version is 8.12. What would be the appropriate nwjs to use with this?

I encountered the same issue before. A workaround I found is changing the command from nw-gyp rebuild into nw-gyp rebuild --target=x.xx.x --arch=x64

Thanks for the help, and apologies for the slow reply. I had moved on and used the latest LTS version of node.js - I did not need to use nw-gyp. I will certainly bear this in mind, thank you!
