Raspberry Pi npm install failure

[lashower]

This seems similar to Issue 195, but is on a different OS.

I am running Raspbian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie), which is a flavor of Debian for Raspberry Pi.

When running "npm install mdns" I recieve the below build error:
gyp ERR! build error
gyp ERR! stack Error: make failed with exit code: 2
gyp ERR! stack at ChildProcess.onExit (/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/lib/build.js:258:23)
gyp ERR! stack at emitTwo (events.js:125:13)
gyp ERR! stack at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:213:7)
gyp ERR! stack at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:200:12)

See the attached log for more details:

Noticed that the log and the debug.log do not show the "same" contents. Here is the full error from execution:

Found the issue.
Based on Stack Overflow's error: dns_sd.h: No such file or directory I needed to install the below packages.

sudo apt-get install libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev

No cigar. Mine failed with same error, later ubuntu version. Had already installed libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev

Guys.. I am facing the same issue

I am trying to push a node js application into Heroku. I am facing the below error "

n file included from ../src/dns_sd.cpp:1:0:
../src/mdns.hpp:32:20: fatal error: dns_sd.h: No such file or directory
#include <dns_sd.h>
^
compilation terminated.
make: *** [Release/obj.target/dns_sd_bindings/src/dns_sd.o] Error 1
make: Leaving directory /tmp/app/node_modules/mdns/build' gyp ERR! build error gyp ERR! stack Error: make` failed with exit code: 2

I have made changes already like adding the dependencies libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev but still facing the error. Can you please suggest what would be the possible reason?

Where do I find that dns_sd.h on Windows?
