npm install error on travis

[kidtronnix]

Hi i am not sure if this is a problem with bcrypt but when I try and run my travis CI job i get an npm install error when it is installing [email protected]. Weird thing is it runs fine locally with nearly identical version of node and npm.

Here is the output from the job

So I see lots of people have been having similar problems recently but does anyone know how to fix it for Travis?

Ok i fixed this now by adding this to .travis.yml:

env:
  - CXX=g++-4.8

addons:
  apt:
    sources:
      - ubuntu-toolchain-r-test
    packages:
      - g++-4.8

@smaxwellstewart thanks for this! Out of curiosity may I ask what these changes are?

[kidtronnix]

Thinks it's something to do with node's c++ core, changing the version of the compiler or something.

This fixed it for me, thanks!

OMG this saved my life! 😂 Curious, is this actually referenced in the README of this package? Ifnot then ehh, why?
