Build errro in bignum

[ricl]

When trying to build this I get an error in bignum as the module does not appear to be included.

..\bignum.cc(10): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'openssl/bn.h': No such file or directory [C:\U
ard\Documents\GitHub\torrent-stream\node_modules\bittorrent-tracker\node_modules\bignum\build\bignum.vcxproj]

Are you running this on Windows?

[ricl]

Yes - Win 8 - built on that as well.

[mafintosh]

I'm not sure if fuse works on windows, but bignum is actually an optional dependency should if everything else works it should be ok.

[ricl]

So is it possible just to ignore the errors given and use anyway - it breaks the latest peerflix because of the errors otherwise

[mafintosh]

Oh yeah. Sorry about the fuse thing (I thought I was commenting on another issue on torrent-mount). Yes you can just ignore them. Install still completes successfully right?

[ricl]

No - it fails though that may be for other reasons. Looks like you may need to move to ferros 0.4.1 to make the bignum optional.

[mafintosh]

I've published a workaround in 0.7.5 which uses an older version of the tracker which doesnt have the dependency. Could you try upgrading to that version?

[ricl]

Yeah. That appear to have fixed it. Peerflix now works as expected as well :-) Thanks.

FYI, downgrading means that torrents larger than 4GB will no longer work. Will look into this tonight and see what we can do.

[ricl]

Thanks. I was actually trying to get a use of peerflix up to the latest versions and this was the first stumbling block I came across. Now I can use up to peerflix 0.5.5 (was 0.5.4 before :-) with this 'fix'.

Something in 6.0 and above breaks how it is being used there.

[mafintosh]

@feross oh. I thought it would report wrong stats

[feross]

@mafintosh Unfortunately that version throws an exception when trying to connect to a UDP tracker if the torrent size is > 4GB.

[mafintosh]

@feross oh. Let me know if can help. Maybe we could the js version of bignum?
