This seems to be the cause:

610 error clang: error: no such file or directory: 'algorithm'
610 error clang: error: no such file or directory: 'automatic'
610 error clang: error: no such file or directory: 'matching/companio_api/node_modules/node-addon-api'

Things I've tried:

• Removing ~/.node-gyp
• Installing the latest version of CLD
• Re-installing node-gyp, updating to the latest version
• Reinstalling Xcode
• Updating brew and all packages
• Installing cld globally npm i --global cld (this works, but still can't use it in my projects and include it in package.json).

Info:

MacOS Sonoma 14.2.1 (23C71)
Macbook pro Apple M2 Max

❯ npm --version

❯ node --version         
v16.14.0

Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

Ok, I found out what is causing this... The folder was called indeed "Fixes algorithm automatic matching"
So I looked at the error message and it occurred to me that "algorithm", "matching/xxx" looked like broken parts of the directory name. I changed it to something like "fixes_algorithm_automatic_matching" and voilá 🎉 it worked.

So it seems that there is something in the CLD script that is trying to build it without taking into account whitespaces in the directory name. Can you kindly have a look at that when possible?
