Error installing on Raspberry Pi

[losttime]

I get an error running npm install pi-spi on my Raspberry Pi (model B) running Raspbian.

Here's the error output

child_process: customFds option is deprecated, use stdio instead.

Am I possibly missing some system dependencies?

I believe I have the dependencies for node-gyp, according to https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-gyp

$ python --version
Python 2.7.3
$ gcc --version
gcc (Debian 4.6.3-14+rpi1) 4.6.3

What version of node? This module likely only works with node 0.10.x at the moment and will need an update for newer versions of v8/libuv — sorry this is not specified via package.json engines.

I intend to update this (or happy for PR migrating it to use https://github.com/rvagg/nan instead of direct bindings) but haven't messed with the various options for node beyond v0.10 myself yet.

I see. I'm running 0.12.0.

[losttime]

I can confirm that it does install just fine with node 0.10.28. Thanks :)

Glad downgrading was an option for you! Hoping to update soon since 0.12 has been out for a while, just haven't quite dared update my main development machine to it and so it's been a bit off my radar.

I think I've fixed node 0.12.x compatibility with https://github.com/natevw/pi-spi/pull/15. (Will release once I can test on hardware…)

You can test via npm install git://github.com/natevw/pi-spi.git#nan_compat though if you're interested.

[natevw]

pi-spi@1.0.0 should be compatible with either version of node (and probably iojs too…)

Thanks for moving on this so quickly! :+1:
