I was getting the following error when using node-canvas as a dependency with Node v17:

npm ERR! gyp info using node-gyp@8.3.0
npm ERR! gyp info using node@17.1.0 | linux | x64

Making the following changes to my package.json (in particular, pinning nan to 2.15+ to include nodejs/nan#888) solved the issue.

I think this can be solved upstream by bumping the nan dependency here:

node-canvas/package.json

Line 51 in a4b571b

"nan": "^2.14.0",

Prebuilds for Node.js v17, canvas 2.8.0 are now available for Linux glibc x64 and macOS x64.

Windows failed to build, still looking into that.

Prebuilds for Windows x64, node-canvas v2.8.0, Node.js v17 are now available as well.
