\fBnode-gyp\fR \-\- native addon build tool for node
.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"

.nf
node\-gyp <command> [args]

.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
\fBnode\-gyp\fR is a cross\-platform command\-line tool for compiling native
addon modules for Node\.js, taking away the pain of dealing with the
various differences in build platforms\.
It is the replacement to the \fBnode\-waf\fR program, which is removed since
node 0\.8\. Native addons still using a \fBwscript\fR file should definitely
add a \fBbinding\.gyp\fR file to support the latest versions of node\.
.
.P
Multiple target versions of node are supported (from node 0\.6 to the
next released version), regardless of what version of node is actually
installed on your system; \fBnode\-gyp\fR downloads the necessary development
files for the target version\.
