Installing node modules with node-gyp spawn ENOENT error

Question

I'm trying to install the dependencies of the node-rtp-midi module. I followed the tutorial on the node-gyp github and searched the internet for many hours. I just can't get this thing to work. Every time a module needs node-gyp, the installation of the dependencies fails. Bellow you can find a screenshot with the cmd output.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

• Visual Studio 2012 installed
• Windows SDK installed
• Python 2.7 installed
• node.js version 0.10.26
• node-gyp version 0.13.0

Answer 1

In order to install rtpmidi-node on a Windows machine, you should install the Apple Bonjour SDK

Answer 2

You need to set the PYTHON EnvVar to a full path including the executable! The PATH Variable is not enough.

set PYTHON=c:....Python\2.7.4\python.exe

Otherwise node-gyp finds the correct path and executes the found path, not the executable. The result is the ENOENT.
