Error while compilation

[adrienbuffet]

Hi, i'm getting an error at compilation with > node-gyp rebuild

Can you help ?

Thanks for help dude :D

I guess you are not compiling this on a linux based OS. The problem comes from the dependency to the i2c module. There is an open issue in the i2c module. https://github.com/kelly/node-i2c/issues/17

I don't know how to resolve this to make this package work on any other OS than Linux

This one seems to be solved for this repo with #3.

I still can't compile it on OSX. But haven't digged into it much deeper. So the restriction that this package only works on Linux persists.

[askanhesse]

You are right, it can not be installed on an OSX device. Do you plan to add any cross-platform compatibility?

Anyway, it reads for me that this issue seems to have something to do with version incompatiblity when installing on an raspberry and not an cross-platform issue; Linenpm ERR! /home/pi/nodeserver/npm-debug.log shows that it seems to run on an raspberry - also, take a look at https://github.com/kelly/node-i2c/issues/75. Thats why I thought it could be closed.

@asknaskan you are totally right. I didn't analyse the following log completely npm ERR! /home/pi/nodeserver/npm-debug.log, because the OSX error looks very similar 🤦‍♂️

@adrienbuffet have you tried compiling this with node greater or equal than 8?

i2c is updated to 0.5.5 and been talking with the developer. There are problems with lots of the i2c stuff being out of sync. I have node-red-contrib-i2c installing and see its notes. Now I need to get my NCD 32-Channel High-Power Relay Controller with I2C Interface based on mcp23017 working.

There are issues with GIT and NPM versions out of sync too.

Trying to get these working too.
