Build failure on OS X Snow Leopard about websocket-node HOT 6 CLOSED

Hello,

Seems that you need install command line tools (XCode), just install them (see that http://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.xcode.html).

If your problem persists, check my case #57.

Luck!

Thanks, I'll check 57. I have xcode.

This is definitely a problem with the build environment on your machine, though I'm not sure what exactly. In these cases I generally recommend to install Homebrew (http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/) and then run brew doctor from the command line to see what's wrong with your build environment.

Also note that the native modules are optional. The WebSocket-Node module will still work without them, just not quite as fast and without verifying the validity of received UTF-8 data. In 99.999% of test/dev scenarios, this will make no visible difference whatsoever to you. The native modules are strongly recommended for production servers, but could be considered optional for development environments.

Thanks, Mr Turtle. It was only a dev env, of course, so I'll see how it goes without the native code, thank you for pointing that out.

Here's what I had to do, being in the exact same situation (same problem, and have xcode installed).

In xcode, go to Preferences > Downloads > Command Line Tools and click 'Install'.
