  "readme": "node-gyp\n=========\n### Node.js native addon build tool\n\n`node-gyp` is a cross-platform command-line tool written in Node.js for compiling\nnative addon modules for Node.js, which takes away the pain of dealing with the\nvarious differences in build platforms. It is the replacement to the `node-waf`\nprogram which is removed for node `v0.8`. If you have a native addon for node that\nstill has a `wscript` file, then you should definitely add a `binding.gyp` file\nto support the latest versions of node.\n\nMultiple target versions of node are supported (i.e. `0.6`, `0.7`,..., `1.0`,\netc.), regardless of what version of node is actually installed on your system\n(`node-gyp` downloads the necessary development files for the target version).\n\n#### Features:\n\n * Easy to use, consistent interface\n * Same commands to build your module on every platform\n * Supports multiple target versions of Node\n\n\nInstallation\n------------\n\nYou can install with `npm`:\n\n``` bash\n$ npm install -g node-gyp\n```\n\nYou will also need to install:\n\n  * On Unix:\n    * `python`\n    * `make`\n    * A proper C/C++ compiler toolchain, like GCC\n  * On Windows:\n    * [Python][windows-python] ([`v2.7.2`][windows-python-v2.7.2] recommended, `v3.x.x` not yet supported)\n    * Microsoft Visual C++ ([Express][msvc] version works well)\n      * For 64-bit builds of node and native modules you will _also_ need the [Windows 7 64-bit SDK][win7sdk]\n\nHow to Use\n----------\n\nTo compile your native addon, first go to its root directory:\n\n``` bash\n$ cd my_node_addon\n```\n\nThe next step is to generate the appropriate project build files for the current\nplatform. Use `configure` for that:\n\n``` bash\n$ node-gyp configure\n```\n\n__Note__: The `configure` step looks for the `binding.gyp` file in the current\ndirectory to processs. See below for instructions on creating the `binding.gyp` file.\n\nNow you will have either a `Makefile` (on Unix platforms) or a `vcxproj` file\n(on Windows) in the `build/` directory. Next invoke the `build` command:\n\n``` bash\n$ node-gyp build\n```\n\nNow you have your compiled `.node` bindings file! The compiled bindings end up\nin `build/Debug/` or `build/Release/`, depending on the build mode. At this point\nyou can require the `.node` file with Node and run your tests!\n\n__Note:__ To create a _Debug_ build of the bindings file, pass the `--debug` (or\n`-d`) switch when running the either `configure` or `build` command.\n\n\nThe \"binding.gyp\" file\n----------------------\n\nPreviously when node had `node-waf` you had to write a `wscript` file. The\nreplacement for that is the `binding.gyp` file, which describes the configuration\nto build your module in a JSON-like format. This file gets placed in the root of\nyour package, alongside the `package.json` file.\n\nA barebones `gyp` file appropriate for building a node addon looks like:\n\n``` json\n{\n  \"targets\": [\n    {\n      \"target_name\": \"binding\",\n      \"sources\": [ \"src/binding.cc\" ]\n    }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\nSome additional resources for writing `gyp` files:\n\n * [\"Hello World\" node addon example](https://github.com/joyent/node/tree/master/test/addons/hello-world)\n * [gyp user documentation](http://code.google.com/p/gyp/wiki/GypUserDocumentation)\n * [gyp input format reference](http://code.google.com/p/gyp/wiki/InputFormatReference)\n * ['\"binding.gyp\" files out in the wild' wiki page](https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp/wiki/%22binding.gyp%22-files-out-in-the-wild)\n\n\nCommands\n--------\n\n`node-gyp` responds to the following commands:\n\n * `build` - Invokes `make`/`msbuild.exe` and builds the native addon\n * `clean` - Removes any generated project files and the `out` dir\n * `configure` - Generates project build files for the current platform\n * `rebuild` - Runs \"clean\", \"configure\" and \"build\" all at once\n * `install` - Installs node development files for the given version.\n * `list` - Lists the currently installed node development file versions\n * `remove` - Removes a node development files for
