[Raspbian Wheezy] Error building libopenzwave

[asciidisco]

Hi,

very interesting project, I´m looking forward to play with it, but unfortunately it seems like I´m not able to install it on RPi.

I personally believe that it has something to do with using the latest & greatest Node Version v0.11.9, because I was able to install it without any errors using a friends RPi that runs the latest stable Node version from the v0.10.x branch.

my knowledge of C++ is quite limited & I was hoping that we might be able to solve this issue together, also because I believe that it will arise with the next stable Node release (if it is really connected to the node version).

Thanks in advance & keep up the great work.

Cheers Sebastian

I'm also getting the same stack trace when I compile my addon module with v0.11.9, but compiles fine with v0.10.x. Any suggestions would be really helpful.

[jperkin]

The ABI appears to have changed quite a bit in v0.11, and for now I'm going to punt. Rather than chasing unstable versions, I'm going to wait until it stabilises in v0.12 and aim for that, perhaps by using a wrapper as this is going to bite a lot of people.

Sorry if this affects your application, but I'd strongly suggest sticking with the stable v0.10 releases for now.

[infernix]

Please put a version requirement in the readme. I wasted quite a bit of time on this.

:) shameless plug: OpenZWave/node-openzwave-shared compiles and runs under both Node 0.10.x and 0.12.x by leveraging the NaN abstraction layer (although I haven't really stressed it under 0.12.x to locate any mem leaks or race conditions)
