Install fails on node 14

[ariwbolton]

I tried to install v2.4.9 and v3.2.0 using node 14.11.0, but I'm getting this error for both versions during npm install sodium-native:

> [email protected] install /Users/me/Documents/tmp/node_modules/other-package/node_modules/sodium-native
> node-gyp-build "node preinstall.js" "node postinstall.js"

libtool is required, but wasn't found on this system

Installing both versions using node 12 works fine; I suspect support for node 14 just hasn't been added yet. (Unless the intent is for users to now install libtool manually before installing sodium-native -- I haven't tried that, but I'm hoping to avoid that if possible)

[mixmix]

from memory you might need https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-gyp installed globally, and if you follow the install of that closely I think you might find yourself installing libtool??

[mixmix]

oh also note I think you only need these build tools in place if it couldn't find an existing prebuilt binary matching your system setup. That might be why you didn't hit this in the past

Should there be some prebuilds on sodium-native to solve this situation? Experiencing same issue

[mafintosh]

There should be prebuilds and I run it daily (and many others as well on mac). Can you share a bit more about the system you are seeing failures on?

How I experience an issue: mostly through stellar-sdk, would it be because they use an outdate version then?

if you confirm it's because it's outdated, i'll directly contact stellar-sdk team. Thanks.

Ok nevermind, I think it's more on stellar-sdk side now. Sorry for noise. stellar/js-stellar-base#404
