Cannot install on Ubuntu 18.04 and NodeJS v12.14.0

[ArturJS]

Expected Behavior

It should be correctly installed via npm intall iohook

Current Behavior

Unable to install it and getting the following error:

CMake Error: Cannot determine link language for target "uiohook".
CMake Error: CMake can not determine linker language for target: uiohook

Possible Solution

I had to downgrade to node v8.16.0 in order to fix it.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Use ubuntu 18.04 and node v12.14.0
2. npm install iohook

Context

Tried the solution from https://github.com/wilix-team/iohook/issues/15 but it didn't work out. Got the error

I'm also having installation troubles on Ubnutu 19.04, NodeJS 13.6.0

Just out of curiosity, did you try the temporal solution that I've mentioned above? If it wouldn't work out I can try to find another workaround for your case.

I'm not willing to downgrade to v8 just to use this. Thanks though!

Hey, It seems you re using a very old version. Can you try with version 0.6.2 or 0.6.3 ?

Hmm, yes that's exactly so as I didn't perform any updates on my project. Omg, sorry for such a silly issue... And thanks a lot for pointing this out!

My pleasure !
