Error when trying to update to node 16

[codingchefs]

Hi,

Currently, my project is on node 12. The library works fine. But when I upgrade to node 16, it throws an error when I try to install the library.

Any idea how to resolve it?

7022 error make: *** No rule to make target `Release/obj.target/libexslt/deps/libxslt/libexslt/common.o', needed by `Release/exslt.a'. Stop.

I haven't looked at this in detail but two things to note:

• Last I checked this didn't work with NPM 7 (Make updates for compatibility with Node 14, 16 #84 (comment))
• It may not work on M1 Macs: Add support for Apple silicon #86

Thanks for the response.
I have npm version 6 and intel as processor for mac. or does it work with npm > 7?

Sounds like it's neither of the problems I listed, then. Sorry, I don't have any other ideas.

[codingchefs]

ok no problem. I will keep looking for any alternatives.

I was able to get this working (regular Intel MacOS), by explicitly installing node1-libxmljsmt-myh.

The steps I followed were:

npm install libxslt
npm install node1-libxmljsmt-myh

I'm also getting an error when trying to install on node 16 and npm 8:
