Cannot build project

[CelticHarp]

Hello,

Could you please provide the node and python version that was used for this project?

I cannot build this project with the following error (npm install):

npm ERR! code 1

I have followed the instructions on https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp but I guesss the project is much older so maybe an older version of python must be used?
Thanks

Hmm it must be an issue of node-ffi and newer node.js versions. I just checked this issue node-ffi/node-ffi#632.
