[MartijnR]

Created a repo that will npm install node_xslt in different versions of node.js for easy reproduction using Travis. Current results here: https://travis-ci.org/MartijnR/node_xslt_build_tests/builds/24920497

[sadlerw]

Is there anyway to actually install and use this on npm 1.4.3?

[MartijnR]

Not sure. It works fine on npm 1.4.10 with node 0.10. I am no expert in this, but the repo uses node-gyp to build. Is node-gyp available on your system? (node-gyp -v)

[sadlerw]

thanks - that did it.

[sntran]

Any luck on getting node_xslt to work under node 0.11? I have looked into nan, but I am not an expert in C to actually modify node_xslt

[kildem]

installation fails in Node v0.12
How can I fix this issue? ????

@kildem

Can you provide more details?
Thanks.

Well, I'll have to dive into some sort of debugging as I can't reproduce this easily.

[kildem]

if I switch to node v0.10.9 I can install node_xslt and the app works, but if I switch back to node v.0.12
it doesn't run

[MartijnR]

@CentaurWarchief Are you able to install this on node 0.12?

If so how do you install the prerequisites? I use apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev.

I updated the error log with the 0.12 in the top post.

[MartijnR]

Imho we don't need to maintain compatibility with node v0.10.x in a new version of this library. Any thoughts on that? That might simplify the fix.

[zeroedin]

+1 for installation on Node v0.12.

[alxndrsn]

Any update on support for node 0.12.x?

[MartijnR]

This will offer much better hope for node 0.12 support: https://github.com/albanm/node-libxslt. Though currently it is not working for me either on node 0.12.6, node-libxslt and its main dependency (libxmljs) are under active development.

[kildem]

I've switched to xslt4node and it works fine with node v0.12
https://www.npmjs.com/package/xslt4node

[MartijnR]

update: https://github.com/albanm/node-libxslt supports NodeJS 0.12, v4.x and v5.x now (and no Java!)
