This has worked for me, please consider merging

joevennix · 2015-06-14T18:16:38Z

I also needed to change this env var to make it work with my homebrew installation of cairo. +1 for merging this

mathiasbynens · 2015-06-30T13:09:16Z

Same problem here. I can confirm that this patch fixes the problem.

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/opt/X11/lib/pkgconfig" && npm install canvas --save

heavyk · 2015-07-01T13:40:06Z

there have been new releases since I made this patch...
so, dunno why it didn't get merged yet. I think it affects everyone with homebrew.

kangax · 2015-07-01T13:55:18Z

Ah yes, I think I needed to define that path as well when installing on Yosemite through brew. Would the build.sh script be called when doing 'npm install canvas'? Does npm invoke install script?

mathiasbynens · 2015-07-01T14:04:32Z

From https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/scripts:

install, postinstall: Run after the package is installed.

heavyk · 2015-07-01T14:06:58Z

so, the idea is it that PKG_CONFIG_PATH needs to be exported for node-gyp to see it. the only way to do that (that I know of) is with a script. I think I tried unsuccessfully to inline it.

EDIT: or was it pkg-config that needed it ??? I can't remember now... export needed to happen in the script though

kangax · 2015-07-01T15:10:12Z

Hm, shouldn't it be preinstall then?

if you define an install script, it actually replaces the install command (which npm runs for you). this is why it runs node-gyp rebuild

although, now that I think about it, I have no idea what the behaviour on windows would be.

mathiasbynens · 2015-07-06T10:06:25Z

@kangax I think you’re right — preinstall (“run BEFORE the package is installed”) seems ideal here.

"preinstall": "[[ \"$(uname)\" = \"Darwin\" ]] && export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=\"${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}:/opt/X11/lib/pkgconfig\""

heavyk · 2015-07-06T10:25:06Z

@mathiasbynens - I think when I tried that, the export didn't make it into node-gyp ... I could be wrong though. did you try it?

LinusU · 2015-07-06T13:18:18Z

With #574 merged I do not need this to make it work. I don't even have a /opt/X11 directory.

This works without any errors:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH="" npm install LinusU/node-canvas#include-paths

heavyk · 2015-07-06T19:14:52Z

@LinusU 👍 for yours 👏

TooTallNate · 2015-07-06T19:36:06Z

@LinusU Your command doesn't seem to fix this particular issues still:

$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH="" npm install LinusU/node-canvas#include-paths
|
> [email protected] install /Users/nrajlich/node_modules/canvas
> node-gyp rebuild

Package xcb-shm was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xcb-shm.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

TooTallNate · 2015-07-06T19:37:12Z

That said, I don't think this particular PR is correct either. Remember that a bash script won't run on Windows!

LinusU · 2015-07-06T20:52:28Z

@TooTallNate Hmm, that's strange. I'll have to dig deeper here. Do you have pango installed?

heavyk · 2015-07-06T22:43:16Z

@TooTallNate yeah I realized that after I made the PR. will a normal npm preinstall script will work though? I'll be willing to update this PR

@LinusU it does work for me though ... hmmm

heavyk · 2015-07-06T22:50:09Z

very strange: now, for me, npm i canvas works and so does @LinusU 's branch however, npm i Automattic/node-canvas produces this:

Could anyone please test this with the latest version, and if it doesn't work:

Make sure that all brew packages are updated
Post a list of what files lies in /opt/X11/lib/pkgconfig
Post if pango is installed or not

Thanks!

LinusU · 2016-10-29T09:48:10Z

No response in over a year so I'll go ahead and close this. If anyone still has this issue I would be happy to help debugging...
