NAME
node-gyp -- native addon build tool for node
SYNOPSIS
node-gyp <command> [args]
DESCRIPTION
node-gyp is a cross-platform command-line tool for compiling native ad-
don modules for Node.js, taking away the pain of dealing with the vari-
ous differences in build platforms. It is the replacement to the
node-waf program, which is removed since node 0.8. Native addons still
using a wscript file should definitely add a binding.gyp file to sup-
port the latest versions of node.
Multiple target versions of node are supported (from node 0.6 to the
next released version), regardless of what version of node is actually
installed on your system; node-gyp downloads the necessary development
files for the target version.
COMMANDS
• build Invokes make/msbuild.exe and builds the native addon
• clean Removes any the build dir if it exists
• configure Generates project build files for the current platform
• rebuild Runs clean, configure and build all in a row
• install <version> Installs node development header files for the
given version
• list Lists the currently installed node development file versions

given version
