Unable to rebuild with Electron 28 and zmq ^5 - Error: node-gyp failed to rebuild

[dawadam]

Describe the bug It's a bug that seems to be known; I saw that builds have been made for other versions of Electron. This is version 28. I need it with version 5.3.1 of zeromq. The build is not done correctly with node-gyp. Error: make failed with exit code: 2

Reproducing Just install last Eletron, using electronforge and add zmq 5.

Expected behavior zmq must rebuild

Tested on

• OS: Linux Mint 21.2
• ZeroMQ.js version: 5.3.1

You did not provide any details of your error. But I think I get the same node-gyp error:

The error above is for v5.3.1, and it goes away with the latest version, that is if I specify "zeromq": ">= 6.0.0-beta.19" in "dependencies".

Version 6 is a beta version, it's good for me. But I use another library which uses the production version which is version 5.
