I will add it.

Did we ever get the bindings for the UI released?

return_0e · October 7, 2019, 6:36pm

I haven’t had the time to fully clean it up yet, so there will be some issues when compiling them (just minor issues but they will be fixed). I’ve added documentation for the bindings but I’ll continue to clean it up on GitHub as soon as I release it shortly.

Great, thank you.

Hi,
Attempting to install modules with npm and running into error related to read-only file system.
Is there a known workaround?

Thanks

Install from Haikudepot application , the package manager will handle the rest

For my web application project I want to install javascript libraries to dedicat…ed sub directories of the project, e. g.: ``` | my_project\ | -- scripts\ | -- | -- angular\ | -- | -- | -- angular.min.js | -- | -- | -- angular-animate.min.js | -- | -- | -- angular-route.min.js | -- | -- require\ | -- | -- | -- require.min.js ``` In similar question at [Stack Exchange](https://www.google.de/search?q=npm+link+windows) I found answers that there is supposed to be a `--prefix` option for the `npm install` command, e.g.: ``` npm install angular --prefix .\scripts\angular npm install angular-animate --prefix .\scripts\angular npm install angular-route --prefix .\scripts\angular npm install require --prefix .\scripts\require ``` In the documentation of the `npm install` command, however, I can't find anything about the `--prefix` option. Is it still supported? What's its exact behaviour?

or the environment variable npm_config_prefix

I just tried running NodeJS on Haiku,it installs successfully but throws the following error whenever I enter a node or npm command:

runtime_loader: /boot/system/bin/node: Could not resolve symbol 'uv__io_check_fd'
resolve symbol: "uv__io_check_fd" returned: -2147478780
runtime_loader: /boot/system/bin/node: Troubles relocating: Symbol not found

That’s all it does,it instantly quits afterwards.
I’m running Haiku Beta 3 x86_64 with all updates installed.

Probably a recent change in libuv. Try to rebuild node locally against the current libuv, and if it works, create a PR with a revision bump at HaikuPorts.

nipos · December 9, 2021, 6:30pm

Building with haikuporter throws some errors as well: https://transfer.sh/IsgLET/node-build-error.log

extrowerk · December 9, 2021, 6:42pm

Missing uv symbols everywhere.
It seems i have bumped the libuv recipe last time:

Maybe the npm recipe needs to be bumped too? Idk.
Could you try to revert the libuv bump, build the previous version and build npm against that?

nipos · December 9, 2021, 7:37pm

After reverting the last libuv update and building the older version,the nodejs12 package builds just fine and works.
npm doesn’t need to be updated,the version from pkgman works alright with the self-compiled nodejs package.

korli · December 9, 2021, 8:13pm

Looks like the issue mentioned here? https://github.com/libuv/libuv/pull/1188#issuecomment-272976817

korli · December 9, 2021, 9:23pm

Nevermind, this was fixed in nodejs14 and nodejs16 upstream, but not in nodejs12. Backporting manually and is fixed by https://github.com/haikuports/haikuports/commit/d89e4f81b3dad599dbd770e765012865fc71aad9
Will be available shortly.

nipos · December 9, 2021, 9:33pm

Thank you very much,I’ll try that tomorrow.

The new node12 commit builds successfully with libuv from HaikuDepot
I still have an issue when trying to use NodeJS,however.
I wanted to use the p2p chat app cabal ( https://cabal.chat ) what should be as easy as npm install cabal and running with npx cabal.
It installs successfully,but when trying to run it,I get the following huge error log: https://transfer.sh/MqeooK/node-cabal-log.txt
I also tried it with the self-compiled libuv and nodejs yesterday already and got the same error.
