Failed to compile on Windows

[khuongduybui]

I'm using Windows 8.1 x64. I have Visual Studio 2013 (Ultimate), VC++ redistributable 2005, 2008, 2011, both x86 and x64.

EDIT: node version: 0.10.26, npm version: 1.4.3

When trying to npm install msgpack, I received the following errors:

They are of STD, so take out "tr1/".

Compiled after changing to below:

unordered_map.hpp

include

unordered_set.hpp

include

I'm having the same problem on Windows 8.1 64 bit with Visual Studio 2013 Express. It looks like the above comment is a solution, but I don't understand, what does it mean: "They are of STD, so take out tr1/" ?

I'm actually trying to do npm install winston-fluent from https://github.com/sakamoto-san/winston-fluent

Which depends on msgpack, and when its building msgpack, I get the error:

Can you try this?

1. Get the repo git clone https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack-node
2. Make the following changes C:\downloadFolder\msgpack-node\deps\msgpack\msgpack\type\tr1\unordered_map.hpp Change:

   include <tr1/unordered_map>

   To:

   include <unordered_map>

C:\downloadFolder\msgpack-node\deps\msgpack\msgpack\type\tr1\unordered_set.hpp Change:

include <tr1/unordered_set>

To:

include <unordered_set>

1. Open "Windows SDK 7.1 Command Prompt"
2. Set the compile environment SetEnv /Release /x64
3. Install cd C:\downloadFolder\msgpack-node

npm install

Thanks for the reply. Here's what I ended up doing, because I was trying to use winston-fluent, which depends on fluent-logger, which in turn depends on msgpack:

• Forked
• Committed the fix for windows, removing tr1/ from unordered map and set .hpp files (verifying build works locally with Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Express and also ran all tests)
• Ran npm shrinkwrap --dev in my other project using winston-fluent, modified the nested dependency on msgpack to point to gzip tarball from my fork

And now it works. Thanks for your help :-)

I will happily take pull requests that fix the issue without breaking other ports.

[htaox]

I submitted pull request #16. Thanks.

[willyg302]

Could #16 be merged and pushed to npm? Same issue currently breaking npm install zerorpc for me, ran through the steps above and it worked.

[godsflaw]

All merged up, version bumped, tagged, pushed to all mirrored repos, and published to npm. Thanks for the fix @htaox!
