Estimated disk space required: 1.0 GB (add 67 MB for tests)
Estimated build time: 12 SBU (add 2.9 SBU for tests: both using parallelism=8 and 8 CPUs online, parts of the tests will use all online CPUs)
Brotli-1.1.0, c-ares-1.33.0, ICU-75.1, libuv-1.48.0, and nghttp2-1.62.1
http-parser and npm (an internal copy of npm will be installed if not present)
![[Note]](../images/note.png)
An Internet connection is needed for some tests of this package.
Build Node.js by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--shared-brotli \
--shared-cares \
--shared-libuv \
--shared-openssl \
--shared-nghttp2 \
--shared-zlib \
--with-intl=system-icu &&
make
To test the results, issue: make test-only. Out of 4096 tests, 25 in the 'parallel' test suite are known to fail.
Now, as the root user:
make install && ln -sf node /usr/share/doc/node-20.16.0
--with-intl=system-icu: use
the system version of icu. Other
values are full-icu (to build a local,
full icu library) and small-icu (to build a local, minimal icu library).
--shared-{brotli,cares,libuv,nghttp2,openssl,zlib}:
use the system installed libraries instead of local copies.
--without-npm: do not build
npm (use if you'd like to build a
separate npm later).
--shared-http-parser: use the system
installed library instead of a local copy.
