[Bug]: Problem with node-gyp on termux

[bajrangCoder]

Problem description

Error while installing node-pty(or any npm package which need node-gyp). Tried in many devices still same issue . Before it used to work . Stopped working recently. And it working fine on Linux os, Userland terminal but not on termux. I am pretty sure that it's termux specific issue.

Screenshot

Steps to reproduce the behavior.

Try to install any node-gyp package. For eg: node-pty or try to install this package:

npm i -g acodex-server

What is the expected behavior?

It should install package successfully without any issue

I was able to install it by installing 'node-gyp' separately then add argv.push('-Dandroid_ndk_path=""') the 'node_modules/node-gyp/lib/configure.js' file.

I'm manually defining the android_ndk_path variable this works because also the variable is required, it isn't actually being used, but it needed the value could be set to the actual android-ndk path.

Check out Termux NDK to install Android NDK on Termux.

This isn't applicable, if you have any other solution then suggest...

Adding this to '~/.gyp/include.gypi' fixes the problem without the need to edit the source code.

You have to create the '.gyp' folder first.

{
    'variables': {
        'android_ndk_path': ''
    }
}
