A listing of errors and solutions.
Error:
../node_modules/nan/nan.h:45:3: error: #error This version of node/NAN/v8 requires a C++11 compiler
Upgrade your compiler using this method: https://github.com/mapbox/cpp#standard-compiler
You are building a node c++ module. That error above was happening because node itself (node v4 and greater) needs a compiler that supports C++11. You are likely building on a linux system with an old default compiler like g++ 4.8 or older.
On OSX you hit an error like:
clang: warning: libstdc++ is deprecated; move to libc++ with a minimum deployment target of OS X 10.9
This is just a warning - it is harmless. However to fix the warning:
- If you are the developer of the module: add these lines to your
binding.gyp - If you are the user of the module, file a bug report upstream.
You are compiling a node c++ module on OS X. This warning is expected if you are running OS X >= 10.12 and:
- You are building a node c++ addon against the nodejs provided binary
- That c++ addon is not explicitly requesting linking to libc++ or;
- Overriding the ``-mmacosx-version-min` flag.
This warning is harmless until Apple decides to remove libstdc++ from an OS X version. For modules that don't explicitly link to libc++ (like recommended in the solution above) this warning will persist until either:
- the nodejs project starts linking to libc++ explicitly (refs https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/7292a1e954e0db348ff78c704df9e105ba5667ad)
- or the nodejs project changes this line to
10.8
