I'm getting this error when running yarn install from clean repo sharp: Detected globally-installed libvips v8.15.1 sharp: Attempting to build from source via node-gyp sharp: Found node-addon-api sharp: Found node-gyp version 9.4.0 sharp: See https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/install#building-from-so…

Does it build if sharp is removed from packages/app-cli/package.json (this will break the CLI app)? Note that sharp is also present as a dependency of lib and tools.

As expected, removing the dependency didn't help. I'll try git bisect to see if I can pinpoint the commit that broke it for me.

Probably caused by this "enhancement": Enhancement: Major overhaul of installation · Issue #3750 · lovell/sharp · GitHub No idea why I'm the only one affected apparently.

Oh, good catch! I didn't find this. And the project there is rebranded Joplin! Well, at least I'm not the only one with this problem after all. I try the solution suggested there tomorrow.

Setting the SHARP_IGNORE_GLOBAL_LIBVIPS environment variable to 1 might also be a workaround. (See sharp's build instructions ).

Thanks! This does the trick. Sort of. Not seeing any more errors from sharp. The build stil fails though but it looks completely different: ➤ YN0000: [@joplin/app-desktop]: Error: Command failed with exit code 1: git checkout 2d814a5466604daced108331d14aedf8e8414d62 ➤ YN0000: [@joplin/app-desktop]…

Is that something we can integrate to our build?
