failed to build asar package about nody-greeter

[sachin746]

just trying to install this greeter same error

[JezerM]

Seems to be an upstream error about node-gyp-bins. I'll look for a solution soon~

[cy1der]

Any fix yet?

[JezerM]

No, sorry, I haven't had time to see through this error. Also, it seems there is a PR trying to solve it in nody-gyp, but it hasn't been completed nor merged yet.

[JezerM]

Well, I fixed this issue by patching the asar package. This isn't ideal, and it's not the best way to do it as it should've been done in the node-gyp package, but it works. Tell me if it works~

Use the master branch and build nody-greeter again. Also, sorry for the late fix, I was very busy these 3 months xd

[cy1der]

Thanks, I will test it later today. Also, does this greeter work with themes for WebKit?

[cy1der]

Now I'm unable to run npm install.

Latest node, npm and node-gyp version

[JezerM]

@cy1der, nodejs v19 is not supported by node-gtk yet, as stated in their README:

Supported Node.js versions: 14, 16, 17, 18 (other versions should work but are untested)

So, I'd recommend you to use an older version of nodejs.

[cy1der]

How to switch to older version?

[JezerM]

Well, it depends on your package management system. If using ArchLinux, install the nodejs-lts-hydrogen package, which is nodejs v18.
