Error building nodereport

[curtisr7]

While running npm install against appmetrics-dash I'm getting an error [1] while building nodereport. appmetrics depends on https://github.com/hhellyer/nodereport.git#stream_output_dev

This is probably related to issue #22 and it's fix in PR #31
What version of MacOS are you running? I'm on 10.12.3 which should be up to date. The uname -a output doesn't quite map onto the output from clang.

[richardlau]

This is probably because the deployment target is set as 10.5 in Node.js v4.x: https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v4.x/common.gypi#L355

[richardlau]

Reproduces on the CI with Node.js v4: https://ci.nodejs.org/view/post-mortem/job/nodereport-continuous-integration/45/MACHINE=osx1010/console

[hhellyer]

Ok, so the problem seems to be the change from https://github.com/nodejs/node-report/pull/31/files
Is it possible to make that conditional on the level of node (I assume we still want to build on node 4!) or should we revert it and go back to the compiler warning?

[curtisr7]

What version of MacOS are you running?

10.12.2

[hhellyer]

@curtisr7 That makes sense, it looks like you should only see this if you are installing into Node 4. Have you tried with Node 6?

We might need to revisit the fix for #22.

[curtisr7]

Have you tried with Node 6?

Node 6 works

[hhellyer]

I've pushed a fix, you can test it with:
npm install hhellyer/node-report#mac_node4_fix
if you want to. (It did pass CI runs on Node v4 and Node v6.)

[curtisr7]

That won't work for me as we're using hhellyer/node-report.git#stream_output_dev

[hhellyer]

I could merge it onto that, the merge request for those changes is going from stream_output not my _dev branch. Let me check it won't break anyone else.

A fix for the clang: error: invalid deployment target problem has now landed in nodejs/node-report master, see #56, and is published as https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-report, v2.0.0. Thanks to @hhellyer and @richardlau

Plan is to land and publish the getReport API enhancement #48 tomorrow so appmetrics can switch their dependency from the hhellyer branch, and get the build fix as well as the new API.
