I would like to install the https://github.com/LearnBoost/node-canvas/ module. I followed the windows installation instruction here
https://github.com/LearnBoost/node-canvas/wiki/Installation---Windows .
After typing: npm install canvas I got the following log:
Creating library F:\Stittch2\node_modules\canvas\build\Release\canvas.lib
and object F:\Stittch2\node_modules\canvas\build\Release\canvas.exp
Generating code
Finished generating code
canvas.vcxproj -> F:\Stittch2\node_modules\canvas\build\Release\\canvas.node
[email protected] node_modules\canvas
└── [email protected]
So I thought its compiled successfully, but when I do require('canvas') in node I'm getting the following error:
>node
>require('canvas')
Error: The specified module could not be found.

with 32bit Node/npm.
Seems that I'm not getting this error only with this module.

node-gyp is a cross-platform command-line tool written in Node. js for compiling native addon modules for Node. js. It contains a vendored copy of the gyp-next project that was previously used by the Chromium team, extended to support the development of Node. js native addons.
node-gyp dependencies If you only need to compile add-ons during the project setup, Node. js should cover it for you. However, if you are an add-on developer, you probably need to install node-gyp globally. To use node-gyp, first, we'll need to install a Python runtime, the make utility, and a C or C++ compiler.
createCanvas() Creates a Canvas instance. This method works in both Node. js and Web browsers, where there is no Canvas constructor.
does this fix solves your issue?

I think this has been fixed and Node.js 5.3.0 was released with it.

Hope this helps!
