Compiler errors on npm install with node 0.12.2 on windows (V8 problem?)

[timknip]

Windows 8.1 x64
Node 0.12.2

When attempting to install webpack-dev-server 1.8.2 with npm install webpack-dev-server I get compiler errors.

Typical error:
error: ‘NewSymbol’ is not a member of ‘v8::String’

Check out the log here

The package does get installed into node_modules, but hot-reloading breaks (worked with node 0.10.36).

My guess its latest V8 breaking some stuff.

We are also experiencing the same problem, did you manage to solve them?

C:....node-gyp\0.12.0\deps\v8\include\v8.h(1599) : see declaration of 'v8::String'

C:...\node_modules\webpack-dev-server\node_modules\socket.io-client\node_modules\engine.io-client\node_ modules\ws\node_modules\nan\nan.h(487) : see declaration of 'NanAsyncWorker'

although it still seemed to install and work on a very simple test project, including hot-reloading

For me it was this socket.io issue, the solution was to install ws manually, see: socketio/socket.io#2057
