npm install fails on OSX, make target 'sodium' not found?

I have the same problem... any ideas?

I checked out the code and before running make sodium, you have to run npm install, which is a strange requirement , because it runs $(BINDIR)/node-gyp rebuild from node_modules. I believe there is an error in the instructions to verify that the library builds, it should be verified by just running make libsodium.

Anyway, I cleared the node-modules and added lib sodium to my dependencies in package.json, ran npm install on my project and then it worked fine.

I have the same issue, and I can't find a way to workaround it. I tried to install it on a clean project with npm install -S sodium, or add it to the dependencies and then npm install, I always get the same error Carlos has.

I get same error on ubuntu 14.x, node 5.3.0, [email protected].

The latest version (1.1.1) of sodium package on npm is missing the Makefile, so it cannot install the node module.

how to check:

wget https://registry.npmjs.org/sodium/-/sodium-1.1.1.tgz -qO sodium-1.1.1-npm.tgz
tar ztf sodium-1.1.1-npm.tgz | grep package/Makefile

It happens probably due to this bug: npm/npm#5082 this is false

Workaround: add files section to package.json and explicitly list files to include.

@m1el thanks, can you be more explicit about the workaround please?

[m1el]

@NHQ you can inspect the changes in #76.

Anyone else looking for a workaround: npm i sodium@~1.0.0 grabs the latest available version before the breaking changes that happened as part of 1.1.0.

Guys, sorry for the inconvenience of this latest version. I'm working to fix this. Like m1el the make file is missing form the package I will add it back

The issue is in the latest version of libsodium. They added some files needed by autogen.sh to their .gitignore file and npm pack was not including them in the package. Opened an issue with libsodium jedisct1/libsodium#403, but in the mean time I deleted their .gitignore from deps/libsodium and npm pack includes all the files that are needed.

Pushed version 1.1.5 to npmjs which installs correctly on my Mac. Please try it out and let me know.
