Error about `node-gyp` or `node-pre-gyp` when install

[scillidan]

Windows10,
npm 8.5.1,
nodejs 17.6.0

I try npm install webtorrent-hybrid -g, and it say:

npm WARN deprecated xmldom@0.1.31: Deprecated due to CVE-2021-21366 resolved in 0.5.0

I check some issues and try install node-pre-gyp, node-gyp first. But it seem don't work:

λ npm install webtorrent-hybrid -g

I remember I have been successfully installed before, may be I now use the version is too high.
Not important and urgent for me, but thanks for read.

I also have this issue on node v17.6.0

Seems like the issue is with wrtc. If I remove that from package.json it installs, and if I try to install it, I get same error:

npm install wrtc

It's hard to tell, but it looks liek the only place it is used is in global.js:

globalThis.WRTC = wrtc

I will try to make a PR to fix it.

[konsumer]

seed example seems to work with above PR,including being able to hit a remote demo-hash on https://instant.io/ (which was not working with regular webtorrent lib, in node.)

[luxi-record]

I got the same problem，have some ways to fix it？

[konsumer]

@lanjingyun I made a PR to fix it (see above) and also instructions on the PR for doing it without the webtorrent-hybrid wrapper.

[github-actions]

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?

[konsumer]

Bummer. Is this project dead?
