Bindings don't work on Raspberry Pi about johnny-five HOT 11 CLOSED

OK, @beriberikix, got this going.

Two things that suck:

• So, node-gyp does need to be globally installed (I can't endorse doing this via npm, but if it works, I guess it works ;) )
• npm is not (fully?) running the binding.gyp in serialport (le sigh) -- the fix was simple on my end, cd into the node_modules/serialport and issue a quick node-gyp configure and a nice solid node-gyp build. Keep in mind you'll need a basic toolchain (etc), which can be provided with build-essential (at least).

You can verify it looks sane by cd'ing into node_modules/serialport and running this snippit:

if [ "x`find . -name "serial*node"`" = "x" ]; then echo "Something sucks"; else echo "Looks OK"; fi

Happy hacking!

If this fixes this, feel free to close the bug, or re-assign to serialport :)

Unfortunately, this is first documented failure on Rasberry PI, previous attempts were all successful. The issue is with compiling the serialport bindings - so it should be filed with node-serialport. However, it seems that the issue is usually fixed by installing node-gyp globally (IIRC)

No dice. npm install -g node-gyp and same thing. I'm going to take a deeper
look at my node build or Raspberian itself to see if there's anything there.

I'll follow up with serialport and post the results here - but you can
close for now.

Let's get @paultag in on this

On it, give me a few.

Awesome. @beriberikix this is @paultag, he's a debian committer and raspberry pi owner as well, and so hopefully he can help get up and running :)

@beriberikix My IO is gnarly (SD card problems), but serialport is installing via npm correctly -- I'm going to look into this s'more, but can you pastebin the full output / npm debug log while I wait for this guy to finish crunching?

Eeek, issue ACK'd. Let me see here. I think I saw something in the backspew.

Thanks @paultag! I'll stay posted.
