Compile v6.8.1 on armv7

[joaopaulob]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile the version v6.8.1 but I'm getting the following warning:

NOTE: preferred version 6.8.1 of nodejs not available (for item nodejs)
NOTE: versions of nodejs available: 0.12.7
NOTE: Resolving any missing task queue dependencies

NOTE: versions of nodejs available: 0.12.7
NOTE: preferred version 6.8.1 of nodejs not available (for item nodejs)
NOTE: versions of nodejs available: 0.12.7

My local.conf:

PREFERRED_VERSION_nodejs = "6.8.1"

Build configuration:

BB_VERSION = "1.28.0" BUILD_SYS = "x86_64-linux" NATIVELSBSTRING = "Ubuntu-14.04" TARGET_SYS = "arm-poky-linux-gnueabi" MACHINE = "colibri-imx7" DISTRO = "poky" DISTRO_VERSION = "2.0.2" TUNE_FEATURES = "arm armv7a vfp thumb neon callconvention-hard cortexa7" TARGET_FPU = "vfp-neon" meta meta-yocto = "jethro:37eb21b2b1d5977a028a448e52551607fae99bf7" meta-oe meta-python meta-networking meta-gnome meta-ruby = "jethro:8ab04afbffb4bc5184cfe0655049de6f44269990" meta-yocto-bsp = "jethro:37eb21b2b1d5977a028a448e52551607fae99bf7" meta-toradex = "V2.6:485643678b2d39d37b1cc9d1aa2200bb934b08de" meta-fsl-arm = "jethro:417f669e4dede244a81e11aa6d8b60c4e333e589" meta-fsl-arm-extra = "master:fddc5aef6712b9ea87095772ad51a8d41be9ad67"

Am i missing anything? I'm using the latest master.

Best regards

Maybe meta-nodejs is completely missing from your bblayers.conf? I don't see in your config...

[imyller]

I agree with @gizero

Looks like meta-nodejs is not included.

Found the issue. The layer should not be on EXTRALAYERS section.

Now I am getting the following compiling error:

Take a look at #9... seems related. I also experienced a similar issue when building from unusual build paths and suspected this was related to the length of the paths

@joaopaulob

If bundled openssl compilation fails you can build Node.js with use shared openssl.

This can be enabled with PACKAGECONFIG:

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.1/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-PACKAGECONFIG

For example, in your local.conf

PACKAGECONFIG_append_pn-nodejs = " openssl"

or in nodejs_%.bbappend:

PACKAGECONFIG_append = " openssl"

[lewicki-pk]

using PACKAGECONFIG_append = " openssl" helps you because it shortens the command used to link openssl, but it does not touch the core of the issue.

I give you my example. I keep my yocto related stuff in one directory, where I have 2 other dirs: build and layers. This should be self-explainatory.

If my main path is:

• /home/myusername12/yocto-builds/2016-11-02 - the build fails with execvp: printf: Argument list too long error, but if i change it to:
• /home/myusername12/2016-11-02 - the build succeeds (username changed, but directory name length preserved).

In my opinion this issue should be forwarded to the developers responsible for creating nodejs.

There has already been a patch for this issue in nodejs 0.8.18 but I tried applying it manually (normal patching failed), but even that did not help.

There is already an issue for it in here: nodejs/node#9137
