gyp: Undefined variable module_name in binding.gyp while trying to load binding.gyp

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying to use meteor-up to deploy my app from OSX to a Ubuntu 14.04 x64 system, but it’s throwing an error gyp: Undefined variable module_name in binding.gyp while trying to load binding.gyp as seen below.

We think that <module_name> gyp variable should be available in node 0.10.x, but somehow it’s still causing the error.

How can we define <(module_name)? Is that the problem?

$ mup deploy
