nodejs_7.10 requires openssl10

[rebeccasf]

When compiling meta-nodejs with poky (master), I got into compilation error below. It is a snippet of it, not sure whether it helps, but I'm using bbappend to remove dependency to openssl v1.1 and add dependency to openssl10. This workaround has temporarily resolved the build issue.

Openembedded has reversed the openssl10 decision at least until the next release(2.5). This is no longer needed.

@rebeccasf can you please share that bbappend ?

I ran into this issue today with Yocto thud.

How should nodejs be configured to use openssl10?

I tried creating a nodejs_7.10.0.bbappend file which changed PACKAGECONFIG to use openssl10 instead of openssl:

PACKAGECONFIG = "zlib openssl10"

This seemed to have worked (it compiled at least!), though I did get this warning:

WARNING: nodejs-7.10.0-r1.4 do_configure: QA Issue: nodejs: invalid PACKAGECONFIG: openssl10 [invalid-packageconfig]

Is this the preferred or recommended method to get node to compile on Yocto thud?

Thanks!

[mdavis777]

No that would actually build it without openssl at all. Your bbappend would need PACKAGECONFIG[openssl] = "--shared-openssl,,openssl10," I will note that unless for some reason you are tied to 7.x openembedded/meta-oe already has node 8.x support for thud. The master branch has 10.x

@mdavis777 Thank you!

No, no, I'm not tied to 7.x at all.

How would I build npm packages using Node 8.x from openembedded/meta-oe? Should I be trying to use meta-nodejs at all? When I added meta-nodejs so that I could use npm-install, it switched to building nodejs 7.10.0 from meta-nodejs (nodejs_7.10.0.bb). Should I be adjusting my layer priorities so that meta-oe has higher priority than meta-nodejs?

Thanks!

[awwx]

Oh wait, I had added meta-nodejs using bitbake-layers add instead of following your instructions... let me try again :-)

[mdavis777]

@awwx If you use meta-oe you would drop meta-nodejs entirely, and inhert the npm bbclass. Should all work fine unless you require offline builds which don't currently work in meta-oe npm.

Some links that are a bit outdated but can get you started. Book Wiki
