How to rebuild epoll package in electron?

Question

I try to rebuild an electron app but I got this error regarding the epoll installation.

Building module: epoll, Completed: 0gyp: name 'openssl_fips' is not defined while evaluating condition 'openssl_fips != ""' in binding.gyp while trying to load binding.gyp

I am using a raspberry, I did update it too. But it didn't work. These are the dependencies installed.

I deleted node_modules with package-lock.json and installed everything again. I updated the raspberry with apt-get upgrade. I don't know how can I solve this issue. Do you have any ideas?

Answer 1

gyp: name 'openssl_fips' is not defined while evaluating condition 'openssl_fips != ""' in binding.gyp while trying to load binding.gyp

I just spent my day solving this. Eventually, here's what has worked for me.

• install the latest node-gyp locally:

  npm install -d node-gyp@latest
  

• in binding.gyp, add (at the top):

  {
      "variables": {
          "openssl_fips" : "0" 
      },
  
      ...      
  }
