I was hoping to find a list of what was required to build native modules on Windows when offline (that way I can grab them and bring them into my offline environment). I created a Win7 VM and tried an install and it grabs a few other things from nodejs.org/dist and it looks like it stuffs them into ~/.node-gyp. So maybe I can pull that list from there (I guess it also needs Python and Visual Studio/.Net framework). Then again building on Windows isn't a hard req but is our standard dev box so figured I'd try. > >> However, when I try it now on Mac OS X on a connected machine, it works fine >> and doesn't seem to look for anything on nodejs.org.

I looked in binding.gyp for leveldown (https://github.com/rvagg/node-leveldown/blob/master/binding.gyp) but it didn't make a ton of sense to me. I'm assuming it would stash things in that ~/.node-gyp tho so ill look there too.
