Compilation of µWebSockets has failed

[neobie]

Nothing works correctly, keep saying uWebSockets has failed
eiows.js:27
tried ubuntu, macos, v7 down to v4, nothing works.

This sounds like an issue related to the lack of build tools on the system. Can you copy/paste the content of the file build_log.txt stored within the node_modules/eiows directory?

Same issue but I tried in docker

I tried install some packages in image, but still the same error.

FROM node:22.2.0-bookworm-slim

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    git \
    build-essential \
    gcc

/app/node_modules/eiows/dist/eiows.js:27
        throw new Error(e.toString() + '\n\nCompilation of µWebSockets has failed.' +
              ^

You probably build the docker container on a different OS than where you run the docker container. If you build the docker container on a linux platform you also need to run the container on a Linux platform.
