Build fails on Raspberry Pi #180

Closed myrtleTree33 closed 10 years ago

myrtleTree33 commented 11 years ago

Hello,

I have downloaded the Node binaries for 0.8.* and 0.10.12 , and have installed Node on the Raspberry Pi. However, gyp-rebuild fails when I execute npm install -g serialport on the Pi. I was previously able to execute this 2 weeks back.

The error output as follows:

includes, True, check) File "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/serialport/.node-gyp/0.8.11/tools/gyp/pylib/gyp/input.py", line 208, in LoadOneBuildFile raise Exception("%s not found (cwd: %s)" % (build_file_path, os.getcwd())) Exception: binding.gyp not found (cwd: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/serialport/build) while trying to load binding.gyp make: *\ [Makefile] Error 1 make: Leaving directory /usr/local/lib/node_modules/serialport/build' gyp ERR! build error gyp ERR! stack Error:makefailed with exit code: 2 gyp ERR! stack at ChildProcess.onExit (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/lib/build.js:219:23) gyp ERR! stack at ChildProcess.EventEmitter.emit (events.js:96:17) gyp ERR! stack at Process._handle.onexit (child_process.js:678:10) gyp ERR!

Setting up a test scenario right now with NOOBS (new-out-of-box system) wheezy at 2013-05-25. I will post all my instructions here.

Just to clarify this is test RAW serialport or serialport used via johnny five?

myrtleTree33 commented 11 years ago

Hello,

I have reflashed the Pi and redone the builds - it is working now. Thanks.

Sorry for the trouble - spent a day debugging. Perhaps something went wrong with the installation / tmp files.

Thanks,

voodootikigod commented 11 years ago

so all is ok now?

SUCCESS!

Yes - Thank you!

node 0.10.x works too BTW!

Oh dear, I tried it this morning at work and the error reappeared. The same procedure I used to installed was performed - reflashing OS, running the shell script.

I suspect the problem could be down to incompatibility with Raspi Model A (0002)? A dump of the board processes as follow:

voodootikigod commented 11 years ago

unlikely, but i don't have one local to verify (only Rev B).

aurangzaib commented 11 years ago

@toiletfreak firstly why you need serialport as global. modules are installed globally when you need to have them in REPL, modules are installed locally when you need to have them in script file. to installed globally => sudo -i npm install serialport -g to installed locally => npm install serialport

i tested it on raspi model B

myrtleTree33 commented 11 years ago

@aurangzaib They are installed global so npm link is sufficient, if they are needed for multiple project builds. Waiting for GET / build takes up time - something of a preference.

Tested on Raspi Model A / B, is working. However, this does not appear to work on older Raspis tested at my workplace.

Solution that worked for me: Just upgrade the pi, if you can =P

voodootikigod commented 11 years ago

are there older RPIs than A/B??? Tell me more...

myrtleTree33 commented 11 years ago

@voodootikigod Yeah, see http://elinux.org/Rpi_HardwareHistory and http://elinux.org/RPi_General_History

Boards have been revised.. The difference between the A / B is the Qualcomm chip and ethernet slot.

LowPowerLab commented 11 years ago

+1 from me - it doesn't build with node 0.11.6 (on latest wheezy sept-10-13), exits with loads of errors. Had to revert back to node 0.10.12

xseignard commented 10 years ago

I had the same error here, then I noticed that part of the error message :

has modification time 1.1e+07 s in the future

oh wait??!! Am I Marty McFly?? No I guess not, so I typed the date command and... tada wrong date! Since the raspberry pi has no internal clock, it keeps the last date ntp served .

So if your ntp conf is messed, you won't be able to install something newer than your current date on the pi.

You need to change the /etc/ntp.conf to point to a real server pool:

All of that with an internet connection obviously! It may take a few minutes for the date to update

And then you're good!

JayBeavers commented 10 years ago

Looks like @xseignard has figured out the issue above. @LowPowerLab , node 0.11.x is not supported, only 0.10.x.

Closing, please reopen if @xseignard's observation about setting the time properly isn't the root cause of the problem.

xixixao commented 10 years ago

@JayBeavers No chance of getting node 0.11.5 working on the RPi? I am getting:

node: symbol lookup error: node_modules/serialport/build/Release/serialport.node: undefined symbol: _ZNK2v85Value7ToInt32Ev
reconbot commented 10 years ago

I wouldn't saw we'll never support it but we'll probably skip 11as it's unstable. We endevor to support every stable release. I imagine we'll have similar issues with 12 so that may fix 11. We recently introduced nan so whatever version incompatibilities it solves for us is what we'll get.

Your error however doesn't seem like such a big deal, but I don't know enough about how one might solve it.

xixixao commented 10 years ago

Yeah, I'd file a PR, but that message is absolutely cryptic to me and I don't have the slightest understanding of how it's supposed to work. I am moving to 10 with traceur.

programmarchy commented 10 years ago

The undefined symbol is just munged by C++, and is probably the ToInt32() method… e.g. https://github.com/voodootikigod/node-serialport/blob/b68a15dbd4877a503612299b15eb6123ecd2847e/src/serialport.cpp#L45

This is probably a linker issue. Could you have compiled the module with an older version of node? If so, you'll need to recompile the module with node 0.11.5

OK... I downloaded new Debian: RASPBIAN Debian Wheezy Version:June 2014 Release date:2014-06-20 And install again everything. And now... It works!!!

Unfortunately I have no clue why...
