I have done a lot of searching and can't find the same error that I am facing listed anywhere.I get the following error message when trying to build node-gyp:

node-gyp build
gyp info it worked if it ends with ok
gyp info using node-gyp@3.3.1

gyp ERR! node -v v0.10.43
gyp ERR! node-gyp -v v3.3.1
gyp ERR! not ok

My binding.gyp file looks like this:

{
  "targets": [
    {
      "target_name": "binding",
      "sources": [ "src/binding.cc" ]
    }
  ]
}

I think my source reference is incorrect but I can't find what to set it to correctly. Any help appreciated

Typically when this error occurs, the sources file path(s) are not correct.

  • I guessed this is the case but what should it be? The location of the binding.gyp file? – theoneinskane Mar 17 '16 at 06:59
  • Typically you put `binding.gyp` in your project's root directory and then have `src/` and other paths relative to that. With that kind of layout your `sources` should work (provided that you *do* have a file in `src/` called `binding.cc`. – mscdex Mar 17 '16 at 07:02
  • See this is why I'm confused as I don't have a src/ at all and I've followed the install instructions exactly to this point! – theoneinskane Mar 17 '16 at 07:04
  • Then where are your source files? Just change the path in `sources` accordingly. If you're following a tutorial, it would be helpful to post a link to that in your question too. – mscdex Mar 17 '16 at 07:05
  • I don't know where they are. I used npm to do the install of gyp. When I get to my computer I will find them! – theoneinskane Mar 17 '16 at 07:06

    So I have searched and there is no src folder or binding.cc folder on my hard drive. So I cannot locate where the source is. – theoneinskane Mar 18 '16 at 10:32
