Trouble compiling with node-gyp #3

Closed felixmc closed 8 years ago

felixmc commented 8 years ago

I have a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B running latest Raspbian, Node.js v4.2.2, and node-gyp v3.2.1

When I try installing node-rpi-rgb-led-matrix via npm I get the following error: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5vbfcsa38wffwwo/Screenshot%202016-01-17%2012.31.16.png?dl=0

Here is the associated npm-debug.log: http://pastebin.com/mBr7AGP2

Afterwards I tried cloning the project in node_modules and building it manually with node-gyp, but it failed again with a different error code. Here's what the output looked like: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jhus8ciayk08kce/Screenshot%202016-01-17%2012.38.21.png?dl=0

Seems like it might be a problem with the project, but it could also be something specific to my environment. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help resolve this!

You might want to downgrade your Node to v0.10.x.

felixmc commented 8 years ago

@phuongvu thank you! after downgrading node to v0.10.x the package works via both node-gyp and npm install.

Perhaps this dependency should be expressed in the README as well as package.json with something like { "engines" : { "node" : ">=0.10.3 <0.12" } }

phuongvu commented 8 years ago

@felixmc I think there is a need for updating the code so that it works with node v0.12, v4 and v5. The API changes for native addons introduced in v0.12.x and the newer versions break the build. @zeitungen would be great if you can give us some feedback :+1:

Thanks for the feedback ! I only try with node 0.10.x because my environnement require for now the 0.10.x (hello http://timesquair.io/). But I guess, I can, or something else, start to adapt this to node > 0.10.x and see if it can keep retrocompatibility to 0.10.x.

I've actually got this code working with node 5.4.1 but obviously this breaks in older versions. I'll take a look at implementing NAN - if it's easy then I'll do it and PR. Thanks for a great library!

zeitungen commented 8 years ago

I've merged PR from @sebleedelisle, now, you can run this module with nodejs >0.10.x. Please, give me some feedback about this new updates. If no problem, I'll update the npm package and publish new one.

pfrazee commented 8 years ago

I had the original issue. I checked out the repo to get latest, and it worked for me :+1:

zeitungen commented 8 years ago

I think if nobody else report a problem on this issue, I can close it. Thanks again for feedbacks.

Thanks Maxime!
