I see you are on a Mac.
I will have to check if its a new node 0.12 issue or a mac compiler issue.
Will first verify on latest node v8 source tree before the mac.

Cheers

[gianu]

I'm having a similar problem on node 4.1.1

Any update on this?

[Tuetuopay]

I am having the exact same problem on node 4.2.1 (yes I am also on a mac)

Any more infos ?

[bartolkaruza]

Same here on 5.0.0

[rauls]

will update the nodegyp stuff shortly.

[jperry]

any update on this? prevents from moving to node 0.12.X

[BarryCarlyon]

Same issue. On a mac.

[BarryCarlyon]

I am see the exact same error (or there abouts) under Ubuntu also

Both Mac/Ubuntu under node v4.2.3

[DannyvdSluijs]

Same for me.

On a MacBook (El Capitain 10.11.2; Darwin 15.2.0) with node 5.0.0

[jperry]

Has anyone found another good alternative to this library or forked it and updated the pack.cc file?

[tibsar]

Same issue here too. Any updates?

[OffbeatPlanet]

Well, same for me. It does not compile on anything older than 0.10.x
I found a js implementation of PHP's pack here: http://locutus.io/php/misc/pack/
It's part of a greater project, but the pack function is completely stand-alone.

Tested, works nicely :)

[khitrenovich]

Are there any recommendations for those who need unpack functionality too?

[acgpiano]

https://github.com/peze/node-pack
It works well on node version > 4
