cmahnke · 2024-09-26T17:30:39Z

Same problem here, given the last release date and previous issues - maybe it's time to deprecate the module?

satyajitnayk · 2024-09-27T05:15:33Z

@cmahnke uninstalling & installing back xcode command line tools worked for me for now.

 sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
 xcode-select --install

do not update xcode command line tools further

alvis · 2024-09-28T11:29:17Z

Thanks @satyajitnayk for the hint. It works for me too

@satyajitnayk I've tried this with macOS 15.0.1 (sequoia) and nodejs v22.8.0 but no luck. I've still got the same issues.

@pedrokohler Have you tried installing it using node 20 LTS instead of 22?

pedrokohler · 2024-10-07T10:57:18Z

@alvis it did not work either. I think I'll have to rollback to macOS version 14

clhenrick · 2024-10-10T22:56:59Z

I ran into a similar issue and the following fixed this for me on Mac OS 14.7:

Installed the Command Line Tools from the XCode app (well really by downloading them from developer.apple.com and then installing them using the Command_Line_Tools_for_Xcode_16.dmg file)
Updated the path to the Command Line Tools in the terminal by doing:
sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/

I was then able to successfully install node-canvas on my system.

SHiftLin · 2024-10-11T00:49:37Z

brew install pkg-config cairo pango libpng jpeg giflib librsvg pixman
This works for me

schanzer · 2024-10-16T21:07:54Z

I'm getting the exact same errors -- I've been running node canvas for years until prior versions of OSX (sometimes with a little fiddling around node versions or brew packages), but this is the first time I've been totally blocked from using it.
