I’m using NodeJS under Windows (with node.exe downloaded from NodeJS site). I would like to use this db-mysql extension with it ( https://github.com/mariano/node-db-mysql/ )

I have no idea how to use it. Is it necessary to rebuild the whole node.exe or is it possible to build just the extension? I’m not able to run NPM with node.exe (it results in error) as the installation instructions says.

Thanks

    Sorry but you will have to have a full tool-chain(Cygwin) that can compile c. That means you have three alternatives:

    1. Use linux (in a VM) or mac
    2. Install node from cygwin ( https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Building-node.js-on-Cygwin-(Windows) )
    3. Use another database (eg. node-dirty: https://github.com/felixge/node-dirty) that doesn’t need to be compiled.
