NPM install about node-or-tools HOT 11 CLOSED

I'm unable to replicate the obscure error. Rather I get a different error that is both expected and can be improved. What I did is changed third_party/mason/mason.sh to hardcode sunos

- MASON_UNAME=`uname -s`
+ MASON_UNAME="sunos"

Here: https://github.com/mapbox/mason/blob/4da5ec441b9bad3aa546c414b519fee611a77e4d/mason.sh#L9

That simulates running sunos. Then I built from source, expecting an error from mason to trickle up to the terminal. It did:

$ V=1 npm install --build-from-source

The /Users/dane/projects/node-or-tools/third_party/mason/mason.sh: line 41: MASON_PLATFORM: unbound variable is the key error here and the expected one. Since mason does not support sunos. Although it is also pretty unhelpful, so I've ticketed improving this at mapbox/mason#448.

Please chack this link for setup and anything you may have missed in your initial setup of node and npm.
http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/install-node-js-npm-linux
Then try your npm install node_or_tools

from node-or-tools.

Thanks for the quick response! We have tried installing the node-or-tool on a running production node app environment and also a clean install on the latest node and npm version that was mentioned in the orignial issue with the same errrors. Is there a dependency specific to node 4.8 version to take advantage of the prebuilt libraries? We have node 6.9.2. Anything specific to pre-gyp or gyp also that we need to install? The errors are saying that "node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build" is failing.

from node-or-tools.

We build and publish binaries for LTS Node.js 4 and 6 - but only for Linux and macOS.

node-pre-gyp ERR! Tried to download(403): https://mapbox-node-binary.s3.amazon
s.com/node_or_tools/v1.0.3/Release/node-v48-sunos-x64.tar.gz
node-pre-gyp ERR! Pre-built binaries not found for [email protected] and nod
6.9.2 (node-v48 ABI) (falling back to source compile with node-gyp)

This roughly says: there is no SunOS pre-built binary and building from source seems to fail on your system. What you can try is posting the installation log in verbose mode when building from source:

env V=1 npm install --build-from-source

from node-or-tools.

Thank you for your suggestion. I have tried a number of things according to the more verbose error log but it is still failing. I have attached the verbose log. Appreciate the help to clarify what might be going on.

paging @springmeyer for node-pre-gyp help - do you have seen anything like that before?

@harshw can you give us some more details, what compiler are you using, which version is it? Given that this is SunOS and we don't have much experience here I don't know if we can help you here.

from node-or-tools.

I have copied from the terminal both the compiler and make versions on my system. Can I force a compile through some manual switches on node-pre-gyp?

@harshw I'm sorry, node-or-tools does not support sunos. If you want to use node-or-tools I recommend you move to linux or OS X. For this reason I will now close this issue. Please create a new issue if you have any trouble installing on OS X or Linux. On those systems we support binaries for both node v4 and v6, so both should work great and be easy to install. Let us know if you find otherwise.

The reason is that node-or-tools does not support sunos is that this module depends on external libraries that must be pre-compiled for a given architecture: these are gflags, libprotobuf, and libortools (and all of its dependencies). Two blockers exist:

• We use https://github.com/mapbox/mason/ for packaging binaries of these libraries. Supporting sunos is out of scope for mason.
• Even if you removed mason and provided versions of the dependencies yourself, the key dependency of libortools makes no mention of sunos support (https://developers.google.com/optimization/introduction/installing). Without sunos clearly supported by libortools there is no ability for these bindings to support it.

from node-or-tools.

@springmeyer wondering if and how we can get more verbose log messages out of node-pre-gyp. Even with the verbose flag turned on all I can see is: it's bailing out, but I don't know where or why specifically.

(just interested here - you are right SunOS will not work without libortools.so)

from node-or-tools.

@harshw I'm sorry: I forgot to mention that, while I know we don't support sunos and that is the root cause, I'm unsure why you are getting such a cryptic error.

1990 verbose stack Error: [email protected] install: `node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build`
1990 verbose stack Exit status 1

^^ That obviously does not provide much to go on. What is likely happening is that the build system calls out to the https://github.com/mapbox/node-or-tools/blob/master/scripts/install-deps.sh file from https://github.com/mapbox/node-or-tools/blob/master/binding.gyp#L12-L23. That call out is failing because mason does not support sunos. Locally I'm currently trying to figure out why this is not producing a better error. Will post back when I know more.

from node-or-tools.

Thank you for your help on this! We have successfully installed the node-or-tools on an Ubuntu instance. Again, appreciate the thoughtful support.
