g++ should be a dependency for Node.js package #3342
Comments

We don't manage the apt-get packages. If you're using @chrislea's PPA, than talk to him. Otherwise, contact whoever manages the PPA you're pulling from. Node already raises an error if it cannot find a suitable C++ compiler. |

Ok, thx for your reply isaacs. |
|
Is it nodejs-dev or npm that needs to pull the compiler in? I can update that for the next build. |
|
Actually, I am using the stable branch repo: I was wondering if it could have g++ as a dependency as well :) |
|
I don't see any reason that the main binary package should depend on a compiler. There's nothing in that package that lets you build other things. Even if you wanted to build stuff against node directly, you wouldn't have any of the headers or anything unless you installed nodejs-dev as well. |

thx for the explanation Chris. |

Notable changes: * buffer: (Breaking) Removed both 'raw' and 'raws' encoding types from Buffer, these have been deprecated for a long time (Sakthipriyan Vairamani) nodejs#2859. * console: (Breaking) Values reported by console.time() now have 3 decimals of accuracy added (Michaël Zasso) nodejs#3166. * fs: - fs.readFile*(), fs.writeFile*(), and fs.appendFile*() now also accept a file descriptor as their first argument (Johannes Wüller) nodejs#3163. - (Breaking) In fs.readFile(), if an encoding is specified and the internal toString() fails the error is no longer thrown but is passed to the callback (Evan Lucas) nodejs#3485. - (Breaking) In fs.read() (using the fs.read(fd, length, position, encoding, callback) form), if the internal toString() fails the error is no longer thrown but is passed to the callback (Evan Lucas) nodejs#3503. * http: - Fixed a bug where pipelined http requests would stall (Fedor Indutny) nodejs#3342. - (Breaking) When parsing HTTP, don't add duplicates of the following headers: Retry-After, ETag, Last-Modified, Server, Age, Expires. This is in addition to the following headers which already block duplicates: Content-Type, Content-Length, User-Agent, Referer, Host, Authorization, Proxy-Authorization, If-Modified-Since, If-Unmodified-Since, From, Location, Max-Forwards (James M Snell) nodejs#3090. - (Breaking) The callback argument to OutgoingMessage#setTimeout() must be a function or a TypeError is thrown (James M Snell) nodejs#3090. - (Breaking) HTTP methods and header names must now conform to the RFC 2616 "token" rule, a list of allowed characters that excludes control characters and a number of separator characters.

This is a major version bump for npm and it has seen a significant amount of change. Please see the original npm v3.0.0 release notes for a list of major changes (Rebecca Turner) nodejs#3310. * src: (Breaking) Bumped NODE_MODULE_VERSION to 47 from 46, this is necessary due to the V8 upgrade.

I have installed node on Ubuntu via package manager(apt-get). But it seems that g++ is not installed if it's missing. It probably caused me some trouble while installing packages with npm.
I think that it should be a package dependency. And if it is not already done, there should be a warning message when installing Node.js from source with 'make' that asks the user to install g++.
