Can't seen to get node cec library working as it's not installable via npm. Instructions would be useful

Steps tried On raspberry pi // Install cec library manually in global npm folder cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ git clone https://github.com/adammw/node-cec.git git checkout transmit cd cec npm install homebridge

Errors below

Hi, thanks for reporting.

the error seems to indicate that the node-cec is not install / build properly. you can try a node-gyp rebuild and the dir ./build/Release should be created.

I just tried to streamline the install process (see latest commit), but the libcec dependency is giving me some trouble. Using the latest commit I get node-cec to rebuild on my raspberry pi, but it fails.

Note: I use this plugin on my mac mini. I hope to get it to work on my pi soon.

Thanks, yeah trying to compile on a Pi. Assume you're seeing the same error as me

gyp: binding.gyp not found (cwd: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge-cec) while trying to load binding.gyp

I'll keep fighting with it.

Hi,

I've create a new version which links to a different node-cec. It works on my mac using nodejs 4.0 and installs on my raspberry pi (but did not test it functionally just yet).
