error: ‘CAIRO_FORMAT_INVALID’ was not declared in this scope

This above issue earlier was thrown by the PNG.h file and now its Backend.h.

Your Environment

• Version of node-canvas (alpha.8):
• Environment (CentOs 6.4 Node v 8.0.0):

[suifengfengye]

Is this problem fixed and release? I have the same problem in version 2.0.0-alpha.9. And I have to publish my project this week. What should I do?

[LinusU]

This should be fixed in 2.0.0-alpha.9, are you sure that you are getting the exact same error? Could you paste the output, so we can see which line it is on?

[suifengfengye]

@LinusU I'm sorry. I'm use "npm install canvas" yesterday, and appear this error. But when I use "npm install canvas@2.0.0-alpha.9"

Environment

• Version of node-canvas (alpha.9)
• Environment (Red Hat 4.4.7-16 Node v 8.7.0 gcc 4.8.2)

Is there any problem with my environment?

@suifengfengye can you try using canvas-prebuilt instead please? CentOS's default package manger ships an ancient version of Cairo (>10 years old) that isn't supported by node-canvas. npm install canvas-prebuilt@next or yarn add canvas-prebuilt@next.
