Hi, I keep getting this build failed with this error.
ERROR: Task (/home/webos/build-webos/meta-webosose/meta-webos/recipes-webos/nodejs-module-webos/nodejs-module-webos-dynaload.bb:do_configure) failed with exit code ‘1’
any ideas?
Check the log file that was created (I assume it would be in /home/webos/build-webos/BUILD/work/raspberrypi-3-webos-linux-gnueabi/nodejs-module-webos-dynaload/3.0.2-1-r4/temp for you and then look for log.do_configure.XXXXX). If it complaints about common.gypi not being found, go to the path where it expected to find it, and delete the entire .node-gyp directory. Then try to build it again. There is no need to delete the build artifacts.

Done that and now running another build. 
Thanks I’ll try that.
That fixed it! 
now for some testing 
I’m running with Ubuntu 16.04 x64 here (have been with Yocto/OE builds for past years). I needed to install NodeJS 6.11.2 at my end to get it to eventually build:
sudo npm install -g n and then sudo n 6.11.2
Removing the .node-gyp directory didn’t do the trick for me somehow.
Is the OPs error message related to this one that I got?

I followed the instructions and even bought a new 250gb hard drive just for 14.04 for this build, but I am unsure if my result will lead to a working image.
Looks like it could be the same error.
Have you tried deleting the .node-gyp directory? (note: “.node-gyp” not “node-gyp” don’t forget the “.”)
I will try that now. How far back in the instructions do I need to backtrack for that?
First remove the .node-gyp dir
$ rm -rf /home/USER/.node-gyp
Then run the build command again
$ make webos-image

OKay, thanks! Will do.
@futurejones’s suggestion works in this time.
I fixed the bug internally and release it soon. Thanks
Great, it did succeed, with just some warning about bitbake being deprecated.
Thanks guys and gals.
I entered the $ rm -rf /home/USER/.node-gyp command, but an error occurs in image build. 
The development environment is Ubuntu 18.04.
