Cannot install on arm

[EdwardMoyse]

The failure mode is:

➤ YN0009: │ canvas@npm:2.11.2 couldn't be built successfully (exit code 1, logs can be found here: /private/var/folders/j6/cv3xx2910nx_pg7v2t8czqzc0000gn/T/xfs-34791f8f/build.log)
➤ YN0009: │ gl@npm:6.0.2 couldn't be built successfully (exit code 1, logs can be found here: /private/var/folders/j6/cv3xx2910nx_pg7v2t8czqzc0000gn/T/xfs-d881d6fe/build.log)
➤ YN0007: │ nx@npm:16.6.0 [73c33] must be built because it never has been before or the last one failed
➤ YN0000: └ Completed in 1m 37s

I have tried:

brew install pkg-config cairo pango libpng jpeg giflib librsvg

as proposed here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74239415/unable-to-install-node-canvas-on-m1-mac

But this didn't work. I think it MIGHT be related to c++17, but the instructions to:

# For macOS Ventura you may need to specify C++ version, e.g. yarn install -std=c++17

no longer work:

phoenix % yarn install -std=c++17
Unknown Syntax Error: Invalid option name ("-std=c++17").

I think this comes from jsroot:

└─ jsroot@npm:7.6.0
   └─ canvas@npm:2.11.2 (via npm:^2.11.2)

In a fresh directory, I can install just fine with npm:

npm install jsroot
emoyse@macminim1umass Temp % ls node_modules/canvas 
CHANGELOG.md	binding.gyp	build		index.js	package.json	types
Readme.md	browser.js	changes		lib		src		util

So I'm unsure what the problem is with ARM (btw I also tried on a non-mac arm machine, and had the same issues)

[EdwardMoyse]

Tried with:

export CXXFLAGS="-stdlib=libc++"

from here. With this recipe, I can install a native module that depends on node-gyp, without problems)

But yarn install of phoenix fails with the usual error.

I tried also:

npm_config_target_arch=arm64 npm_config_target_platform=linux npm_config_target_libc=glibc yarn install

from here with no luck (same error - but to be clear, this isn't quite the same thing ... it seems to be more about cross compilation).

Edit: I also tried

npm_config_target_arch=arm64 npm_config_target_platform=linux npm_config_target_libc=libc++ yarn install

i.e. with npm_config_target_libc=libc++

Okay, I think this works on node v18, but not with v21.
