Problem Installing on MacOS

ionizer commented 5 years ago

Please accept my apologies as this seems to have been asked multiple times (#77, #91) but I'm having lots trouble installing the whole stuff properly on my Mac, and the solution will later be deployed to Linux. I'm using NoPoDoFo v0.8.0 as distributed from NPM, and currently on MacOS Mojave 10.14.4 with Node v8.9.3.

Now, I tried installing using MacPorts using sudo port install podofo, then I installed NoPoDoFo (v0.8.0) to my Node project using yarn add nopodofo. But upon importing this library using require('nopodofo'), the following error shows:

/Users/ionizer/Desktop/podofo-sign-poc/node_modules/bindings/bindings.js:121
        throw e;
        ^

Error: dlopen(/Users/ionizer/Desktop/podofo-sign-poc/node_modules/nopodofo/build/Release/nopodofo.node, 1): no suitable image found.  Did find:

    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:646:10)

I also tried to install PoDoFo using Homebrew but to only meet the same error and could not figure out what to fix.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but referring to the previous issues, this seem to indicate that NoPoDoFo can't find the installed PoDoFo. Unfortunately for me, I could not figure out what's wrong and how to resolve this with NoPoDoFo v0.8.0.

Does anyone have a pointer to this issue? Thanks!

Hi @ionizer

You are having the same issue as I had, the 0.8.0 version published of Nopodofo still doesn't have the ENV variables configured to get the /opt/ path which Macports installs Podofo in it.

I recommend you clone the master branch, and install the module from it, this way you will have the latest changes until @corymickelson publishes the new version.

Looks like my other option is to use vcpkg instead but I can't figure out how to point NoPoDoFo there. Do you happen to know how to achieve this?

Actually that didn't worked for me too.

What I did was:

I forked the repo
I cloned it
Installed podofo using Homebrew as brew install podofo
Export PODOFO_LIBRARY and PODOFO_INCLUDE_DIR as environment variables to use homebrew Podofo installation which is '/usr/local/Cellar/podofo/0.9.6 '
run npm run build
If the build is successful
Push to a branch in your fork along with the /build folder
Install in your project in the package.json you can include "nopodofo": "git+`repo#branch"

and it should work like this, I hope so

Regarding this doc for Mac I will open a PR soon

@gentios Thank you, and @ionizer the vcpkg mac podofo package seems to have some issues at the moment, plus it is lacking libidn which is used for aes 256 encryption. If you can use brew that appears to be the best option for mac today.

@gentios @ionizer Im closing this issue, if mac install issues persist please comment on #91
