Couchnode installation on windows

Node.js SDK
1

Not sure if this question goes anywhere, totally confused on how this “community” thing works. But if this gets seen…

Anyone having problems with compilation errors when doing:

npm install couchbase

with c:couchbase containing the latest libcouchbase?

I am getting the following and would really appreciate some pointers:

c:\couchbase>npm install couchbase
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/couchbase
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/couchbase
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/bindings
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/bindings

couchbase@0.1.0 install c:\couchbase\node_modules\couchbase
node-gyp rebuild

c:\couchbase\node_modules\couchbase>node “E:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin\node-gyp-bin\…..\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\node-gy
p.js” rebuild

Hello,

Have you tried with the following steps:

Note: I have not yet tested the latest CouchNode release)

tgrall,
I’ve installed latest: node, node-gyp, python and I have vs2012 installed. Tried putting all releases of libcouchbase into c:\couchbase.
I’ve used that guide before with success (its in fact running fine right now on previous release), not this time.

Hey enko,

Please try to build your couchnode directly from our GitHub repository, I have put an example of how to do that below. Windows builds are not yet fully supported, and there was a minor issue in our 0.1.0 release that specifically impacted windows builds which has since been fixed.

shell> npm install git+https://github.com/couchbase/couchnode.git

Cheers, Brett
