io.js support

[timoxley]

Updating the zeromq dependency on nan to 1.5.x introduces support for io.js, but seems some code changes are required to get this to successfully build on io.js 1.0.1.

> cd zeromq.node
> npm install nan@latest --save
npm http request GET https://registry.npmjs.org/nan
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/nan
nan@1.5.1 node_modules/nan
> npm install

> zmq@2.9.0 install /Users/timoxley/Projects/libs/zeromq.node
> node-gyp rebuild

child_process: customFds option is deprecated, use stdio instead.

nodejs/node#456

[kkoopa]

The problem is that it tries to use 64-bit integers. Will fix.

[timoxley]

@kkoopa is this fixed? confirmed working on io.js?

[kkoopa]

Fixed, yes. Confirmed, no. It ought to work.

Confirmed. works.

[ronkorving]

Cool, thanks :)
We'll deal with the customFds later, I guess (or mocha will?)

[nivthefox]

This still seems to be ongoing, now 7 months later.

[ronkorving]

Then I don't think you understand the nature of Node and V8 upgrades.

[nivthefox]

I'm not sure how my understanding has anything to do with me being unable to type npm install zmq on iojs.

[ronkorving]

Because during the past 7 months, multiple versions of io.js have been released many of which introduced breaking V8 API changes and thus needed a new version of NAN and code changes to adapt to the new API of NAN. Those have been happening. This is not one issue over the past 7 months, this is an ongoing challenge in keeping up-to-speed with io.js (and more importantly: V8) releases. Look at any NPM module with a native component and you'll see the exact same ongoing challenge in the issue tracker.

@kkoopa has been doing an amazing job at keeping node-zmq up to date as fast as possible after each new io.js release. What then follows is a node-zmq release. Please have a little patience, your prayers will be answered.

[reqshark]

this issue was fixed a while back, but the fix for iojs3 hasn't been published at the time of this comment.

[ronkorving]

Oh by the way, you can always install the latest master of node-zmq straight from GitHub:

npm install JustinTulloss/zeromq.node

[reqshark]

oh cool i didn't know that

can you put that in package.json or do we have to use the git link?

[ronkorving]

You can put that in package.json as the version of your dependency.
