[... you get the idea ...]

Is this due to node-pre-gyp, leveldown, or my configuration?

[juliangruber]

is it missing a header / stdlib?

Hi @ArtskydJ

Can you confirm the version of node-gyp please
node-gyp -v
According to this nodejs/node-gyp#629 v2.0.0 is required for 2015 support.

FYI I think you are running into this issue here
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30928193/visualstudio-2015-rc-issue-with-includes
and I am guessing but v2.0.0 caters for that.

[ArtskydJ]

I have node-gyp v2.0.2.

Maybe $(IncludePath) needs to be added to leveldown/deps/leveldb/leveldb.vcxproj?

[No9]

leveldown/deps/leveldb/leveldb.vcxproj is generated by node-gyp
Can you post your leveldown/deps/leveldb/leveldb.vcxproj here to see what has been created compared to a working version.
My gut is we are going to have to tweak the level gyp file somehow

The article says include paths should not specify the Visual C++ and Windows SDK include paths directly As that can cause the issue displayed.
I can't see any references in the project file above so can we see if MSBUILD is pulling them in at execution time
npm i leveldown@1.3 --verbose
Specifically looking for the CL line which should appear after ClCompile: and just before the following is outputted

  builder.cc
  db_impl.cc
  db_iter.cc
  filename.cc

It will look something like

ClCompile:

Thanks @ArtskydJ
The only difference I can see between the to is the /Zc:inline option
This is defaulted to off in VS 2013
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn449508.aspx

Could you run that command you gave with /Zc:inline- instead of /Zc:inline
Or take it off completely

Also can you tell me if
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\include\stdint.h
exists please

[ArtskydJ]

The file you mentioned does exist.

I tried running the command straight from the command line but I got this popup error:

[No9]

Right ok that's probably because you need a VS comandprompt.

So here is the build anyway. `npm i leveldown@1.3``
It was built with node v0.12
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1Sqmq8yhAUVTlpyUXlXUFI1NnM/view?usp=sharing
You can unzip that into your node_modules folder and that will at least unblock you.

[ArtskydJ]

Ok, thanks.

I have multiple versions of MSVS installed; I don't know if they overwrite each other, so I don't know if I am able to use an old version.

Do you know if it's possible to force node-gyp to use a different version of MSVS?

[No9]

Well you could try running "Developer Command Prompt for VS2013"
Usually in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\Tools\Shortcuts

Then
npm i leveldown@1.3 --msvs_version=2013

I am experiencing the VS2015 issue as well ... Have been trying a number of things to try and resolve, Python, VC++, etc.

I receive this error a number of times in the log

Hi @donaldhook
If looks like you are trying to compile odbc and not leveldown

..\src\odbc_connection.cpp(436): error C2668: 'NanThrowError': ambiguous call t
o overloaded function [C:\Users\dhook\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\odbc\bui
ld\odbc_bindings.vcxproj]

Can I suggest you raise the issue there https://github.com/wankdanker/node-odbc
Thanks
