I reproduced this building against the v17.7.2 tag. That build broke due to changes in dependencies which are picked up in a clean install. There have been some commits to main branch to fix build. Do you need exact v17.7.2 in particular?

Note also, there is a pending PR for an issue with recent TypeScript (#2393) which you could work around by pinning back TypeScript to before 5.4.0.

One simple workaround is to do the build using the dependencies available at the time. I got the target date from the CHANGELOG:

git checkout tags/v17.17.2
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
npm --before 2023-04-27 install

@shadowspawn thanks for the above steps, now install and tests are passing for v17.7.2
