Can't Install Latest Version? about node-argon2 HOT 5 CLOSED

Compiler version:

You probably do not have the required compiler version. You'll either need gcc 4.8+ or clang 3.3+ (better bet since you're on OSX).

I'm trying to configure Travis to build with OSX too so those errors will be prevented.

Thanks! I'm not terribly familiar with this :(

I just went ahead and made sure I had all the latest xcode stuff, which I do, but that's apparently not enough to build this any longer.

I did some research, and was able to get gcc 5.3.0 installed via homebrew, by doing:

$ brew install gcc

But -- this only gives you a gcc-5 binary, so building this library still fails with errors since it's using the gcc binary and not gcc-5 (which isn't anyone's fault, except brew maybe =p).

I don't suppose you know of a good way to get either GCC / Clang installed on OSX to make things work? It might also be worth it to mention the compiler dependencies in the readme.

You can use env CXX=g++-5 npm install instead which will select g++-5 as the compiler for C++ (CXX). Change accordingly if g++ is not called g++, sometimes it's gcc-c++

That worked perfectly, thank you!

Want a PR to include some of this in the README? I'd be happy to submit, although I'm not terribly familiar with all the different options / etc., so not sure if you want me to take a stab at it or not ^^

Please do, I'm currently trying to fix #25 so I'm focused. I'll comment if there's anything out of order :P
