When I use the zlib/1.2.11 dependency, my Node-Gyp build fails because library -lzlib could not be found.

When I look into the file conanbuildinfo.txt, the library for the zlib dependency is called z. However, it is specified as -lzlib in conanbuildinfo.gyp.

Indeed, manually changing -lzlib into -lz inside conanbuildinfo.gyp fixes the Node-Gyp build.

Could it be that the library name is currently assumed to be identical to the dependency name? If so, would it be possible to use the actual library name instead?

Thanks for working on this Conan + Node-Gyp combination! I have not found such support anywhere else :-(

When U use this, the conanbuildinfo.gyp file is created correctly, but the linker is not yet able to find Conan-installed libraries for some reason:

$ node-gyp build --verbose
[...]
g++ -shared -pthread -rdynamic -m64 -Wl,-rpath=\$ORIGIN/lib.target/ -Wl,-rpath-link=\./Release/lib.target/  -Wl,-soname=test.node -o Release/obj.target/test.node -Wl,--start-group Release/obj.target/test/lib/test.o Release/obj.target/test/lib/Test.o Release/obj.target/conan_build/nlohmann_json.so -Wl,--end-group -lnlohmann_json -Wl,-rpath,/home/wouter/triply/test/node/test-node/build/Release/
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lnlohmann_json

The shared library seems to be in the correct (rpath) place:

$ ls build/Release/obj.target/conan_build/
nlohmann_json.so

Is there anything obvious that I could be doing wrong here?

I have used this library successfully for a while now, but I am running into issues when using liburiparser. When I add this C library as a dependency:

"<(module_root_dir)/conan_build/conanbuildinfo.gyp:uriparser"

the node-gyp build command succeeds; the linker line contains -luriparser and -L/home/wouter/.conan/data/uriparser/0.9.4/_/_/package/de554df6c6dedf975bd1053c40dc7126b0faabbd/lib, so all looks ok at first glance.

But when I then run Mocha tests using the just compiled Node program, I observe the following error:

$ mocha
node: symbol lookup error: build/Release/example.node: undefined symbol: uriParseSingleUriA

I'm not sure how to debug this... maybe the following command gives relevant information?

$ nm build/Release/example.node | grep uri
                 U uriFreeUriMembersA
                 U uriParseSingleUriA
                 U uriToStringA
                 U uriToStringCharsRequiredA
                 U uriUnixFilenameToUriStringA

Any ideas on how to fix or further debug this?
