Hi Ryan, I gave a talk at a local conference about writing bindings: Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/nsm.nikhil/writing-native-bindings-to-nodejs-in-c Code: https://github.com/nikhilm/jsfoo-pune-2012 In addition you can check out node-taglib (https://github.com/nikhilm/node-taglib) which links to an external library. Unfortunately all of these still use node-waf and not gyp. For gyp, looking at the gyp files for node which has bindings for crypto and zlib might be a good idea.
