When I try set the python env variable with either:

node-gyp --python /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/python2.7

or

node-gyp --python /usr/lib/python2.7

I get the help text pop up, like it's an invalid command:

  Usage: node-gyp <command> [options]

  where <command> is one of:
    - build - Invokes `make` and builds the module
    - clean - Removes any generated build files and the "out" dir
    - configure - Generates a Makefile for the current module
    - rebuild - Runs "clean", "configure" and "build" all at once
    - install - Install node development files for the specified node version.
    - list - Prints a listing of the currently installed node development files
    - remove - Removes the node development files for the specified version

node-gyp@3.6.2  /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/lib/node_modules/node-gyp
node@8.9.1

I have tried to keep everything on WSL for developement but always seem to run into issues with node-gyp

Any advice greatly appreciated

Here is my whereis details:

Try export PYTHON=(path to python 2.7 binary) before running node-gyp

Thanks @bzoz, Tried that and it's still giving the Error: Can't find Python executable "/usr/lib/python2.7", you can set the PYTHON env variable error

Here is what I entered:

I meant something like export PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2.7.

The /usr/lib/python2.7 is probably a directory, not an executable. I guess you should set the PYTHON env to /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/python2.7

@spences10 Did it work?

You're right @bzoz I didn't check that 🙃

And you're right again the binary is in the /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/python2.7 location...

Forgive my ignorance I thought that there would be a symlink if I added a location from the wehreis I don't think I actually know what whereis does.

I'll try this again and let you know.

Thanks for the help 👍

I'm not sure if this is any help, first I added the correct path:

export PYTHON=(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/python2.7)

It took me to the Python repl, so I exit() out, here is the output:

@spences10 Drop the parens in PYTHON=(/path/to/python) and it should work. You can also set python in your .npmrc.

You need to be inside the directory of the add-on (native module) you want to build (or pass -C /path/to/addon to node-gyp.)
