build error

[bubifengyun]

I do following https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/How-to-Contribute.
But there are so many errors.

first time, i try use sudo npm ..., errors fly in the screen. then I google and i can run npm without sudo. but errors fly in the screen, too.

second time, I delete the vscode folder, softlink nodejs to node, and git clone again, do following the documents. but the same error was poped.

Any suggestions? Thank you.

I've had trouble when following the official guide as well.

Didn't really have the patience to fully investigate, in my case upgrading nodejs from 0.12 to 4.3 did resolve the problem, even though the guide says 0.12 is sufficient.

YMMV though.

[bubifengyun]

my node installed by sudo apt-get﹉, version 4.2.4.
I will upgrade it to 4.3, thanks for your suggestion.

[bubifengyun]

@bgse thank you very much. i spend half day to install nodejs version4.3, but I cannot install npm successfully because of dependency. My OS is Deepin 2015 which based on debian sid. So, nothing i can do, except waiting, waiting for deepin upgrade their software.

[Tyriar]

@bubifengyun The error to do with native-keymap is likely because you need to install libx11-dev, make sure you follow the prerequisites section for Linux:

sudo apt-get install libx11-dev

[bubifengyun]

@Tyriar Yes i have installed it. I have done the prerequisites before install

libx11-dev is already the newest version (2:1.6.3-1).

[Tyriar]

@bubifengyun maybe Deepin is missing some package required to build then. I've only tried building on vanilla Debian 8.3.0 and Ubuntu 15.10. Do you have g++ installed? I needed that to build on Debian.

[bubifengyun]

@Tyriar Yes, i have installed g++. I try to upgrade nodejs to 4.3. Hope it will be OK. Thank you.

[bubifengyun]

Sorry, I give it up. It is too difficult to fix so many npm-dependency. Maybe it's better for me, Newbee, to download the compiled software.

[Tyriar]

One more thing you could try is try installing it in ~ instead of /media/litianci, maybe file permissions are causing some issues since I see a bunch of read and file don't exist errors. Also I'm not sure if it's a problem for vscode but I've had issues in the past with file permissions on where npm installs its packages, I install mine in ~/.npm-packages (there a tutorial how to do this here).

Anyway good luck, thanks for trying it out!

when in ~. it pops the same error. I see above messages. does it the reason? node-gyp rebuild

here is my node-gyp rebuild error message.

[Tyriar]

@bubifengyun it looks to me like a problem with node, you say you installed it using apt-get initially and then tried to upgrade to 4.3?

i spend half day to install nodejs version4.3, but I cannot install npm successfully because of dependency.

I don't think nodejs provides an official repository to update via apt-get so it could very well be an issue with how node was being installed. Also did you work out the npm issues because that is essential?

I recommend a simple install of node; download 4.3.0, extract to ~/nodejs (or similar) and then adding ~/nodejs/bin to your $PATH:

Make sure you remove the previous version of node however it was installed:

sudo apt-get remove nodejs

Here is how you add to the $PATH:

export PATH=$PATH:/home/litianci/nodejs/bin

You will need to add the above to your .bashrc in order for it to carry over to other terminal sessions.

[Tyriar]

I'm going to close this off as it has been a while. If you're still having issues try removing the vscode directory and cloning/setting it up again.

[bubifengyun]

thank you. i find that even though the nodejs to 4.3, it pops the same error. I don't know nodejs at all. Maybe I need to learn something about nodejs and back.

[Tyriar]

One other tip, you could try installing nodejs from a package, I only just noticed they had them https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions
