@sjmcdowall from what I can gather there’s at least three different issues being discussed on this thread, but the answer to all of them are essentially “install a compiler” or “fix your compiler”.

Originally the issue was about node v7, I don’t ship binaries for odd-numbered binaries for reasons already mentioned.
@LKay was having issues with docker, specifically Alpine Linux. Alpine uses a different version of libc which needs some different compiler flags, so I don’t ship binaries for that one either. He’s already got his build working correctly, so that’s good.
@megamindbrian just copy/pasted error logs from fsevents which isn’t my module, but it also has a compilation stage so I can only assume he has build issues too. The solution there is to follow the instructions in the node-gyp README.

The native module toolchain for nodejs has some coverage gaps which can cause issues like this that are difficult to troubleshoot if you’ve never needed to compile anything.

@laverdet, what do you mean? The rest of error log is a standard instruction how to report one.
