Building NodeJs module with boost (or any other library for that matter)

Building NodeJs module with boost (or any other library for that matter)

I'm trying to build a nodejs module with C++ and Ubuntu 13.04 using some
boost headers as shown below:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <node/node.h>
#include <v8.h>
#include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp>
using namespace std;
using namespace v8;
Handle<Value> Method(const Arguments& args) {
HandleScope scope;
std::string foobar = "8";
return scope.Close(String::New("world"));
}
void init(Handle<Object> exports){
exports->Set(String::NewSymbol("Hello"),
FunctionTemplate::New(Method)->GetFunction());
}
NODE_MODULE(hello, init)
However, when compiling with node-gyp, I get the following errors:
sam@ubuntu:~/workspace_cpp/NodeTest/src$ node-gyp build gyp info it worked
if it ends with ok gyp info using node-gyp@0.10.9 gyp info using
node@0.10.15 | linux | x64 gyp info spawn make gyp info spawn args [

I cannot find anything on the web for how to get node-gyp to build with
other libraries such as boost. Does anybody have any insight or experience
with this? My ultimate goal is to make a SOAP module using gsoap.
EDIT I'm assuming that I have to edit my binding.gyp file in some way to
allow for boost to be compiled. As it sits, this file currently looks like
this:
{ "targets": [ { "target_name": "hello", "sources": [ "NodeTest.cpp" ] } ] }
