Confusion on debian version?

[ril3y]

I have been trying to get this install via npm for awhile but it always fails. What beaglebone image works "out of box" with octalbonescript?

[adityapatadia]

Hi which debian image do you use? I see they updated debian images for beaglebone. I have set a schedule. I will clear most problems around this library by this Sunday including this one. These are low hanging fruits which I will clear for sure.

In past I promised but could not spare enough time. This time we get all issues solved. Any PRs are welcome.

I last checked with this image. Debian 7.8 (BeagleBone, BeagleBone Black - 4GB SD) 2015-03-01. I see that latest one is Debian 8.2. I am upgrading my own board and will upgrade OBS in a few days.

[ril3y]

Specifically?

http://debian.beagleboard.org/images/bone-debian-7.8-lxde-4gb-armhf-2015-03-01-4gb.img.xz

I have tried 8.2 and 7.9 and both fail. Also I have tried with the "built in node" and upgraded node too. There is no documentation on what debian version works with OBS. I think that it should be linked to and stated specifically so people don't fall down the " this doesn't work" kind of issue.

I will try 7.8.

On a side note it looks like for 8.2 the paths are wrong. I have not had the time to try to fix it, nor do I fully understand if a pull request would work. Meaning, its almost like OBS needs some sort of release checking to update paths and other "gotchas"

Thanks!

Ok, I will update the readme and wiki about supported version. It happened because I assumed that kernels wont change that fast.

You can expect new version resolving this by this Sunday.

Thanks! That would be great. I have a project that I am short on time and really really am not that great on C++! So I would love to use OBS vs lots of compiled code!

Thanks again Aditya!

I just tired the link above that I posted but it fails as well. FYI. Thanks!

@adityapatadia I tried out the version you listed tonight. Fresh install, did nothing to it and tried a sudo npm install octalbonescript but this fails also.

Do you have to do something special? I upgrade node to v.12 to see if that would help. But it continues to fail. Any ideas?

[adityapatadia]

Please post errors you get.

I did this from a fresh install from the image you linked in above. The only thing I did was change the password on the debian user and then sudo -s to root.

This is a known issue for epoll with 0.10.29 version of nodejs. Please refer to https://github.com/fivdi/onoff/wiki/Node.js-v0.10.29-and-native-addons-on-the-BeagleBone-Black

[adityapatadia]

I am getting another issue on my BeagleBone after upgrading it to Debian 8.2. I have posted question on epoll module. Hope to get it resolved soon.

[adityapatadia]

There is also some issue about how permissions are handled in npm. I am updating readme to recommend installing octalbonescript locally on per project basis. Check this issue for more information: https://github.com/fivdi/epoll/issues/17

[ril3y]

@adityapatadia have you got octalbonescript to build with the image you linked in to me above? Without using -g?

thanks

[adityapatadia]

Yes, I could install it on a per project basis by doing npm install octalbonescript in given project folder.

[bigmonkeyboy]

I find npm v2 much better at handling some of these... especially rebuilding things like newer versions of serialport etc.

sudo npm i -g npm@2.x

usually get you there.
