Working from codebox 0.8.1

I am on windows running virtualbox ubuntu/precise64 through vagrant in administrative cmd when running npm install all i fine but when I sudo run npm start I receive the following:

Building addons in ./addons/ (force=false)

If I run npm start (no sudo):

Any suggestions would be great.

My problem was line endings as it turns out windows was converting all the project source files over to CRLF line endings which the machine could not understand.

In the end the answer was in VM install dos2unix : sudo apt-get install dos2unix

Then run find . -type f -exec dos2unix {} \; to convert all the files in the project directory over to LF line endings.

If you are planning on editing your Codebox project in windows and compiling in Linux VM I would recommend EditorConfig (if your IDE supports it) as this allows you to standardize line endings (even in a windows environment).
