[SOLVED] Meteor 3.0 alpha/beta : any success on Ubuntu?

3.0 migration
1

I’m currently in the process of migrating a number of big Meteor projects to 3.0. It’s working pretty fine on my development laptop, which is a MacBook Pro M2 Pro.

But whatever I try in order to replicate the upgrades on Ubuntu servers, or even to create new blank Meteor projects on a fresh Ubuntu distro, I get tons of errors. Sometimes the word “killed” weirdly appears at the beginning of the last log, partially overwriting the word “Extracting”, sometimes it’s a long list of errors, the first of which being related to the webapp package.

Here is an example of what the console displays after running meteor create test-app --release 3.0-beta.0 :

Using react skeleton                          
Something has happened while creating your app using git clone.
Will use cached version of skeletons.
Error message:  Using release option

This is happening both for 3.0 alpha and beta, on Ubuntu versions 23.04 and 20.04.6 LTS.

Does anyone have a clue ?

You can start by solving this error

Thanks @rjdavid , I tried every way I know of to fix the make: command not found error in Ubuntu, although such a problem never appeared before… but the console sill raises a bunch of errors related to gyp on one server, while killing the meteor create process on another. Here is one of the strange results I obtain after several minutes :

Something has happened while creating your app using git clone.
Will use cached version of skeletons.
Error message:  Using release option
Killedding standard-minifier-css@1.9.3-b...  \

Guess I’ll wait for the official Meteor 3 release…

Posting this as issue in github might help so it will be in the radar of the meteor devs

Have you tried to install node-gyp package in Ubuntu? I remember that I had trouble with node-gyp once

Guys, thank you so much :grinning:

npm install -g node-gyp solved the problem indeed, now I can create or upgrade projects to 3.0 beta.

Since it was addressed in the video, I guess the Meteor devs are already aware of it ?

At the very least, it should be in the migration documentation to help those in similar situations
