Fails to Install on Alpine Linux (Docker) about node-minidump HOT 6 CLOSED

Me too. Were you able to figure this out @coreybutler?

from node-minidump.

@Skarlso - No, I still haven't got this working.

from node-minidump.

@coreybutler I've got further with this after I installed a bunch of linux-header libraries. Then a.out.h showed up in /usr/include/linux. Doing that, I created a symlink to that file with:

   cd /usr/include 
   ln -s linux/a.out.h . 

However, now I'm facing this:

./deps/breakpad/src/common/linux/dump_symbols.cc:798:36: error: 'basename' was not declared in this scope

I tracked it down to this part of the code:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/external/google-breakpad/+/master/src/common/linux/dump_symbols.cc#849

And that's it. I'm stuck here.

Now, I'll attempt to fork Atom, and throw out minidump. :P

This seems vaguely familiar to me. Now that you mention it, I remember trying to symlink to that file as well, but I never tracked it down the way you did. The line that concerns me is

https://chromium.googlesource.com/external/google-breakpad/+/master/src/common/linux/dump_symbols.cc#847

I'm currently working on another aspect of my project and will likely look into this more... but that's probably a few weeks from now. If you come up with anything in the meantime, I'd love to hear about it... and maybe we can get someone from the atom team to provide some guidance.

@zcbenz - is this something you could provide some guidance on (or point us to someone who can)?

from node-minidump.

Sure I'll tell ya.

That basename is part of something called libgen which is there on alpine, but is not referenced by that Google stuff so it's really weird. I think we are better off if we just remove minidump and replace it with the stiff that's suggested by node-gyp anyways. :-)

@coreybutler Very quick workaround if you don't care about processing dump files for Darwin based architecture:

Remove the following line build/package.json:

    "minidump": "~0.9",

Remove the following task:

dump-symbols-task.coffee

Remove the following ciTasks.push from Gruntfile.coffee:

ciTasks.push('dump-symbols') if process.platform is 'darwin'

After this, I've got a gnome-key error but that was easily solved by apk add gnome-keyring and apk add libgnome-keyring-dev. Both are heavy packages unfortunately.

Also important, that you will probably have to build nodejs by hand, because the alpine package is frigging OLD. :/ So you will face other issues on the road. But, actually... If you got this far, building node, is like a frigging breeze. :P Building node took me ~35 minutes, then after make install:

[21:42:32 default@510cb40e8d18:~/atom/atom] $ node --version
v6.2.0
