Raspberry Pi 4 上的 node-gyp 串行端口构建错误

Question

I have a nodejs electron app running on a Raspberry Pi 4. The latest raspberry pi OS will not build the application (and older OS versions will not run on the latest hardware.) I fairly sure this centers on the serialport package. I have tried building a bare-bones electron app with just the serialport package and it does not work either. Is this a system configuration issue or package version(s)? I have tried Node 12, 14, & 16; serialport 9 & 10...?

I get the following error when doing npm i :

> usb@2.5.0 install /home/myapp/myapp/node_modules/usb
> node-gyp-build

> lzma-native@8.0.6 install /home/myapp/myapp/node_modules/lzma-native
> node-gyp-build

The error message is some string interpolation in a python script printing version info...

Answer 1

After further investigating (using Node@16 & serialport@10), springing from this line:

node-gyp -v v3.8.0

I installed node-gyp locally:

npm i node-gyp@latest -D

...and that clears this install error. Other packages depend on older versions of node-gyp which is causing runtime problems but this particular issue is cleared...
