That worked for me ealier on Ubuntu 16.04 (node 4.2.6 though, npm 3.5.2).

The one thing that happens after the ACTION Building CSDK iotivity-installed line is that the system does a git clone... could it be that you are missing the git tool on the system?

I have had very misleading error messages in the past when I was missing IoTivity build dependencies on my machine so you may want to double-check that you have all of them installed: https://wiki.iotivity.org/build_iotivity_with_ubuntu_build_machine

All dependencies to build iotivity are installed on the system.

I have run a one-off CI build against Node.js 7.5.0 on both Precise (12.04) and Trusty (14.04) and they both build and test fine. I think I might be able to use docker manually to run against Xenial (16.04) but that'll take some doing.

[gabrielschulhof]

I have downloaded the Xenial 32-bit virtualbox image and in it, I ran:

    1  wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.31.7/install.sh
    2  bash ./install.sh 
    3  . ~/.nvm/nvm.sh 
    4  nvm install 7.5.0
    5  node --version
    6  sudo apt-get install git scons unzip make gcc uuid-dev libglib2.0-dev 
    7  git clone https://github.com/otcshare/iotivity-node.git
    8  cd iotivity-node/
    9  git branch
   10  git show
   11  npm install

This worked without a hitch.

I built this repo with one modification (added the arm architecture) in a Debian Jessie-like docker on Raspberry Pi. Node v7.4.0, npm v4.0.5

Tried on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with node v7.5.0 and it worked.

However, the build-script assumes the build of iotivity-native succeeds at the first time. If directory iotivity-native exists but the build fails, node-gyp rebuild will not try building the iotivity-native.
