same - after upgrading to latest version of Node this module no longer works.

[stephenwvickers]

I haven't had time to look into this too much, but a quick test on a MacBook pro doesn't experience the same issue:

Stephens-MBP:np5 stephen$ npm install net-ping
\
> raw-socket@1.4.0 install /Users/stephen/Tmp/node_modules/net-ping/node_modules/raw-socket
> node-gyp rebuild

  CXX(target) Release/obj.target/raw/src/raw.o
  SOLINK_MODULE(target) Release/raw.node

└── raw-socket@1.4.0 (nan@2.0.9)
Stephens-MBP:np5 stephen$ node -v

Stephens-MBP:np5 stephen$ npm -v

[tinnocente]

Hey Steve, I see you're on node v.4.4.3 whereas I am on 5.10.1

Attached is my debug log. Hope it helps!

[stephenwvickers]

What version of Python are you using?

[tinnocente]

Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Dec 26 2010, 22:31:48)

[tinnocente]

Hi Stephen, should I try updating Python?

[stephenwvickers]

Yes, I would say yes, python 2.7 is recommended by node-gyp and that's what I use.

I have installed successfully with node 5.11.0 using npm 3.8.6 and python 2.7.

[al095660]

I have a problem here (don't think it's the same as @tinnocente), and i have node, npm and python updated (same versions you pointed above). Any thoughts?

[al095660]

Solved. As the error message says, MSBUILD was using the wrong tools, so googling it up, i just had to install Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 with C++ redist (you can found it here) and that was it.

Someone can find this thread very helpful.

Thanks anyway!

[tinnocente]

Updated Python: Python 2.7.11 (default, Apr 27 2016, 15:42:44)

Producing the same build error. Must be something with my environment. Appreciate any ideas.

npm-debug (2).txt

[stephenwvickers]

I would suggest checking out the git repo for raw-socket (this is what is failing to build), and try to build by hand, e.g.:

git clone https://github.com/stephenwvickers/node-raw-socket.git
cd node-raw-socket
node-gyp configure
node-gyp build

Sometimes I find npm hides build errors, this should reveal them.

[al095660]

@tinnocente Try to use the latest version of node and npm. As i can see in the log file, you've installed the node version 5.10.1 and the npm version 3.8.3 (node version 5.11.0 and npm version 3.8.6 are already available). If that fails, try to do what @stephenwvickers says.

[stephenwvickers]

I've also found in the past upgrades of the node binary may result in node-gyp build failures where globally installed modules need to be upgraded (I have no data to back this up).

Upgrading the Visual Studio version after installing node may also cause you an issue (passing "--msvs_version=..." at the command prompt can help here).

[dimonnwc3]

Problem is in raw-socket dependency. There is "nan": "2.0.*" dependency in package.json, but it's old version don't work in node 6.

I have manually change nan version in raw-sockets dependency from "nan": "2.0." to "nan": "2.3."
then: npm i
and build: node-gyp configure
node-gyp build

or you can use modified raw-socket version: git clone git@github.com:dimonnwc3/node-raw-socket.git

EDIT: raw-socket updated

Now we can put working raw-socket in this package and it will work fine.

[tinnocente]

@dimonnwc3 brilliant! that worked. Should update npm registry with correct version of raw-socket. Thanks (all) for your help.
