Install on ArchLinux - frida-core.h not exists

[strano666]

Hi, i've a problem with the installation of frida-node on ArchLinux x64. I'm running nodejs 5.6.0.

The problem is the same, both npm install using the binary and using npm install frida

The output is

[strano@stranobeast frida-node-master]$ npm install
npm WARN deprecated lodash.padleft@3.1.1: This package has been renamed. Use lodash.padstart@^4.0.0.
npm WARN deprecated lodash.padright@3.1.1: This package has been renamed. Use lodash.padend@^4.0.0.
npm WARN deprecated graceful-fs@2.0.3: graceful-fs version 3 and before will fail on newer node releases. Please update to graceful-fs@^4.0.0 as soon as possible.

Tnx for the help!

If you want to compile from source, you need to export FRIDA with the absolute path to https://github.com/frida/frida on your local disk.

[strano666]

The problem is the same!

[SomeoneWeird]

Did you build the frida repository before you tried building frida-node?

[juliangruber]

@ralphtheninja could we provide prebuilds for this setup?

[strano666]

@SomeoneWeird i've not built the repository.

I tried with python and all it's ok, without build the entire repository. Only with pip install frida After it i would to use JS, so i tried with npm install frida And i've the error above. I've to build entire repository?

[ralphtheninja]

@ralphtheninja could we provide prebuilds for this setup?

@juliangruber I'm guessing this is just linux x64 so should be no problem. Currently @oleavr is only building for node 4 and 5, see https://github.com/frida/frida-node/blob/master/.prebuildrc#L1-L5 and the OP is using 0.12

[ralphtheninja]

@strano666 Would you mind doing npm i frida --verbose and post that into a gist instead?

[ralphtheninja]

@oleavr Anything against supporting prebuilts for 0.12 as well, or do we have other things preventing us from doing that, e.g. harmony stuff etc?

[strano666]

@ralphtheninja here the gist script https://gist.github.com/strano666/3161a335a66541334295

[strano666]

Sorry @ralphtheninja , i didn't understand. Nodejs 5.6.0 it's not supported?

node 5.6.0 is supported, but you're not using it :wink:

@ralphtheninja No we still build on 0.12, but it's tempting to bump that requirement to 4.0 so we can simplify the code a bit (with yield and other goodies). The reason I limited building to just the last two stable releases is so we don't run out of disk space as quickly. But perhaps we can start garbage-collecting old releases at some point?

[strano666]

Wow @ralphtheninja ...i'm officially confused. I downloaded nodejs from the official package manager of Arch, as suggested in the nodejs website, and the version is 5.6.0. But with the command node --version the output is v0.12.2 .Why?

I'm very sorry, but i'm very noob with node.

[strano666]

I'm very sorry but was a problem of my machine! :(

I had a conflict between two node packages and npm has used the wrong, the oldest. I've resolved! :) Tnx for your time and sorry!

p.s. is the first issue post on GitHub. Have i close?

[ralphtheninja]

Aye, if you believe this to be fixed you usually close the issue you opened to signal other people this is no longer an issue. Happy it worked out for you!

[strano666]

Yeah..it's all ok about the post problem!

tnx to all!
