developing

This application is designed to run on node 6. Please use nvm to install node 6 and use it:

• nvm install 6
• nmv use 6
• nmv alias default 6

Please use included Vagrant images:

• ubuntu
• ubuntu_desktop
• windows
• arch (still not working, misses a few dependencies to build)
• fedora (test only)

If you want to develop without the vagrant images, install the required dependencies described here

You will need to have a working node-gyp since this app uses many native extensions

logs can be found following this instructions

macOS

If you're developing on macOS, run yarn patchlibusb after install, otherwise data-chan will not find libusb, since they're linked together for production and not for development

Windows

If you're developing on macOS, run yarn patchlibpthread after install, otherwise data-chan will not find libwinpthread-1, since it's not included inside windows by default.

Developing on Windows is messy. As long as you get node-gyp to work correctly (following ALL steps), you'll be fine.

Common errors we had in the past:

• "%1 is not a win32 application" you've built the app using wine and mono. You need to use a native Windows environment.
• "Win32 [...] error 126" You're missing pthread, check data-chan docs or run yarn patchlibpthread
• "Dynamic linking error, win32 error 193": you've built for windows ia32, while all the data-chan stuff is for x64. Check you're using 64bit nodejs and building with the "yarn dist:win" command
• "MSBUILD error MSB4132 The tools version "2.0" is unrecognized: run npm config set msvs_version 2015
