Exception: ../src/addon.cc:30:3: error: ‘ThrowException’ is not a member of ‘v8’

When installing wiring-pi 2.0.0 I get multiple exceptions, most related to the V8 namespace, is there some dependency missing?

    Making wiring-pi ... child_process: customFds option is deprecated, use stdio instead.

Tested on both Raspberry B and Raspberry 2 B running raspbian. Also tested Node v0.12 & v0.11.9

I just managed to get it to work on Node v0.10.35...

The source code is not ready for >0.10.x

[Daanoz]

Aah ok, thanks. I didn't realize that.

[nekuz0r]

The next release v2.1.0 will be compatible with <=0.12.x

[henrikvik]

how do I downgrade my node version so I can use this package?

[nekuz0r]

you can reinstall node on a lower version or use NVM : https://github.com/creationix/nvm
