@crispyoz @Lnx-Prof Sorry for "shotgunning" this thread, it simply had the exact same message in its title than the error I was receiving, I though creating a new post with a nearly identical title would be even worst than resurrecting a 5 month old thread.

Anyway, I came with the simple workaround of using Python instead of node, it required some extra effort but in the end it worked just fine. I didn't knew about cross compiling and a quick search led me to finding what it is, how to do it for node packages, and even found an already cross-compiled repo of the package I was having issues with.

I'll leave those here in case someone else finds this thread having the same issues I had.
This repo contains binaries targeted for the omega2 for the serialport library in case you're trying to interface with an arduino via serial: https://github.com/sdesalas/node-serialport-omega2

And here's a post about how to cross-compile for an npm module on Omega2:
https://github.com/sdesalas/node-serialport-omega2/wiki/How-to-Cross-Compile-an-NPM-module-on-Omega2

Sorry again about necro-ing this topic and thanks for the help!

EDIT**: The previous link on how to cross-compile didn't worked for me, but there are instructions in the official onion website:

@crispyoz In my case I'm trying to npm i serialport (nodejs, https://serialport.io/) to simply read the serial bus (ttyS1) and run some rather simple logic based on the data, the problem is that serialport compiles some dependencies using g++, which fail due to the g++ bin not being present on my omega.

I don't think I can do npm install on my workstation and simply upload the resulting node_modules directory to the omega since generated binaries will be targeted for my system's architecture and not for the omega's (mips?) .

Is there a way to do that? Or anything else that you recommend to work with nodejs libraries that depend on g++ compilation in the omega.

I'm also having this issue, I tried uncommenting (some and all) of the lines from distfeeds.conf but now I get an error when running opkg update :

opkg_download: Failed to download http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06-SNAPSHOT/packages/mipsel_24kc/onion/Packages.gz, wget returned 8.

I checked http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06-SNAPSHOT/packages/mipsel_24kc (parent of the offending feed, and noticed there is no onion directory (I looked at mirrors and the folder isn't there either). So I proceeded to comment out that particular feed and tried to install gcc, resulting in:

Collected errors:
 * satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for gcc:
 *      libstdcpp6 *

I also tried with the lede repositories (feeds) suggested by the documentation (https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/c-compiler-on-omega.html, which seem to point back to openwrt snapshots), but that had the same result.

I'm running out of ideas, is there another way to get the dependency, I looked around and I found it here: https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/ar71xx/generic/packages/Packages, but it seems to be for the wrong architecture (and mips is not listed under targets a few dirs up).

Any suggestions?
