LWIP installation issues

[madisonmay]

The lwip package is prone to installation issues, should see what we can do to remedy it on our end.

[JoseRoman]

This should be fixed once LWIP migrates NAN to 2.0 which is what Node 4.0.0 uses. There is currently an open PR to fix this in the LWIP repo.

[sihrc]

Awesome. Thanks for letting us know @JoseRoman

[JoseRoman]

@madisonmay, @sihrc this issue should be fixed with the new version of LWIP 0.0.8.

[sihrc]

@JoseRoman Awesome, thank you!

Is this the issue that I am running into?

perhaps we can use a precompiled binary option?

EyalAr/lwip#83

[xraywu]

And it is especially difficult to deploy this on AWS Lambda due to lwip compiling/installation issues...

[pondre-brandon]

+1 for Google Could Compute instances as well.

[Didericis]

I've created a fork of this that removes all the image processing, as we didn't need it in our current project and were having similar installation issues. Could this be broken up into a separate indico.io-text and indico.io-image package that the main indico.io package references?

[suissemaxx]

Same error here. I am unable to install. The lwip package throws a build error. Any news, when this can be fixed?

3 warnings and 4 errors generated.
make: *** [Release/obj.target/lwip_decoder/src/decoder/init.o] Error 1
gyp ERR! build error 

[sihrc]

LWIP is currently an optional dependency. If you are not working with images, a current workaround would be to install the package without the optional dependencies. http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/256960

[sihrc]

I believe I've reproduced the error with:
node -> v6.8.1
npm -> 3.3.8

A new 0.10.4 indico.io package has been deployed in #123 that updates the LWIP dependency which fixes the error that was reproduced.

Thanks to everyone who reported this bug, and sorry for not addressing this sooner.

[sihrc]

We'll leave this issue open until a more sustainable solution is implemented. Until then, if anyone begins to have issues with LWIP installation again, we will again update the lib as necessary.
