I am trying to run basic code of "Hello World", while node Addon C++ way. None of the stuff is different from wats the official standards of node addon mentioned in the url https://nodejs.org/api/addons.html
I first created the hello.cc file which below mentioned code:-
#include <node.h>
#include <v8.h>
using namespace v8;
void Method(const v8::FunctionCallbackInfo<Value>& args)
{
Isolate* isolate = Isolate::GetCurrent();
HandleScope scope(isolate);
args.GetReturnValue().Set(String::NewFromUtf8(isolate, "world"));
}
void init(Handle<Object> exports)
{
NODE_SET_METHOD(exports, "hello", Method);
}
NODE_MODULE(hello, init)
The next part of the code shown below is binding.gyp which is the core file used by node-gyp library which in ideal world & successful outcomes, shall generate a *.node file which is the binary of C++ code inclusive google's v8.h as well node.h as required files. You can relate this file something similar to a *.so and *.dll file, in this its case *.node file and node compiler is the consumer of it. The front end javascript communicates with this file. Since Node is the common one, the whole arrangement works together as one architecture. The binding.gyp is like JSON and contains the below mentioned code:-
{
"targets": [
{
"target_name": "hello",
"sources": [ "hello.cc" ]
}
]
}
All noders know the importance of package.json, just for quick understanding, its master reference for node, which tells wats your stuff all about in node world. The code for is mentioned below:-
{
"name": "hello",
"version": "0.6.5",
"description": "Node.js Addons Example #1",
"main": "hello.js",
"private": true,
"scripts": {
"test": "node hello.js"
},
"gypfile": true,
"dependencies": {
"bindings": "~1.2.1"
}
}
I am trying to run the whole different by pre-installing node-gyp using command npm install -g node-gyp
The catch is below mentioned error when I am trying to build my code by first running node-gyp configure followed by node-gyp build command:-
C:\Node_Js_progs\addon_first>node-gyp configure
gyp info it worked if it ends with ok
gyp info using node-gyp@1.0.3

Please help & guide, why I am not able to make a significant, since the idea is to bridge node & C++ which I have created as part of my work!
