Symlinking /usr/include/electron-22/node/include/node to /usr/include/electron-22/node did the trick.
A few months ago it used to work, no idea what changed.

'-Dnode_gyp_dir=/home/niko/.nvm/versions/node/v18.15.0/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp',

Why is it there? Should't it be in node's dir of electron?

darkbasic · 2023-03-14T13:11:14Z

It's because of nvm: I use it to co-install multiple versions of node (gentoo doesn't support slotting for node.js).

PF4Public · 2023-03-14T13:44:48Z

That should be the answer to build failure

darkbasic · 2023-03-14T15:04:46Z

With system node it fails with a completely different error:

I don't think I ever used system node to build it in the past.

PF4Public · 2023-03-14T16:31:13Z

If it wants to build electron module it should use electron and electron's node and electron's node-gyp, nothing else.

PF4Public · 2023-03-25T13:23:45Z

So, have you managed to make it work?

darkbasic · 2023-04-06T10:58:43Z

I still have to figure out the best way to handle this: @parcel/watcher is being pulled in by lots of projects including non-electron ones and it makes no sense to use Electron's node in such projects (it might not even be compatible). I don't think there is a way to selectively use Electron's node just for the build, but anyway building against a different node version works fine, you just need to symlink /usr/include/electron-22/node/include/node to /usr/include/electron-22/node.
Not sure if it's our fault and the electron ebuild should provide such symlink or if it's @parcel/watcher's fault (you usually realy on binaries on x86 instead of building it). I still have to dive deeper into this, but it's probably worth trying to build it on x86 with the electron's binary package and/or filing a bug at @parcel/watcher to ask about their build process.

@PF4Public please have a look at this microsoft/vscode#182743 (comment)

PF4Public · 2023-06-07T14:50:45Z

I've moved /usr/include/electron-24/node/ into /usr/include/electron-24/node/include/node/ and tried building element and vscode and they both succeeded, so maybe those includes should go into that folder at the first place? @darkbasic Could you verify that nothing is expecting includes to be in /usr/include/electron-24/node/, so that we can install them straight to /usr/include/electron-24/node/include/node/?
