node-gyp error on ttf2woff2

[paulvandrunen]

Hi in our Bamboo server and also when trying to install we get a node-gyp error. Anyone have a solution for this.

`npm install -g ttf2woff2
/usr/local/bin/ttf2woff2 -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ttf2woff2/bin/ttf2woff2.js

[email protected] install /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ttf2woff2
(node-gyp rebuild > builderror.log) || (exit 0)

Hi, I got the same error, have you find a way to solve this issue? @paulvandrunen

I got the same error, still.

I am getting the exact same error too, both on Ubuntu and Windows.

I am trying to install summernote, which uses grunt-webfont which in turn uses ttf2woff2.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

The reason could be an incompatible version of python (3+). As a workaround i use a project based version of python (2.7.11). I don't have any idea of python so maybe i did it the ugly way:

• add "python = ${PWD}/path/within/project/python-2.7.11/bin/python" to .npmrc at project root level
• put python into this specific directory, i did it like this

#!/bin/bash

PROJECT_DIR="${PWD}"

# install python 2.7.11 locally
rm -rf path/within/project/python_src
rm -rf path/within/project/python-2.7.11
mkdir -p path/within/project/python_src
cd path/within/project/python_src
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.11/Python-2.7.11.tgz
tar zxfv Python-2.7.11.tgz
find Python-2.7.11 -type d | xargs chmod 0755
cd Python-2.7.11
./configure --prefix=${PROJECT_DIR}/path/within/project/python-2.7.11
make && make install
cd $PROJECT_DIR
rm -rf path/within/project/python_src

In my opinion, I found it is running well in Node 10, but failed in Node 12, I am using Python and already tried "window build tools".

yeah seems like it. I'd rather fall back to Node 10 than depending on Python 2+
