Document that windows users should use Node 0.12.7 #84

Closed robrich closed 9 years ago

LinusU commented 9 years ago

Maybe write it as 0.12.x instead? That way you don't have to update when 0.12.8 comes out :+1:

Also, it would be great to get 4.x support, is it only libusb that needs fixing?

Thanks for submitting this @robrich!

Agreed with @LinusU on the version notation. Also, I don't believe having Python installed changes which version of Node you can use.

Lastly, can you add this note for the Linux and OSX screens as well?

@LinusU, I believe libusb is the only limiting factor towards 4.x support :/

LinusU commented 9 years ago

Is the same true on OS X and Linux thought? My understanding is that it's only prebuilt binaries which is missing for the newer node version, which is way having Python (which is a part of the build tools) installed changes this. I might be wrong thought...

johnnyman727 commented 9 years ago

@LinusU that's a good question. I was under the impression that all platforms were waiting on that libusb fix but I haven't tried it myself. I can give it a go tonight or tomorrow.

kevinmehall commented 9 years ago

No, node-usb won't build on Node 4.x on any platform because the V8 / NAN API changed.

johnnyman727 commented 9 years ago

Yep, also just empirically confirmed.

LinusU commented 9 years ago

Haha, yes I have actually started porting it myself :facepunch: :dizzy_face:

Progress can be tracked here: nonolith/node-usb#90

robrich commented 9 years ago

PR updated for all 3 OS flavors, and removed the note about Python.

Cool thanks @robrich!
