Hi,

Given my lack of success with a windows install of node-ffi, I am trying the manual option - grabbed the node-ffi code and trying to build with node-gyp, but it seems to be failing to find ffi.h, from within ffi.h ...

Hmm, seems strange. It looks like the bundled libffi isn't getting compiled for some reason:

  ACTION libffi_test .
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/kimptonc/node/rbranson-node-ffi-b902704/deps/libffi'
make[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/kimptonc/node/rbranson-node-ffi-b902704/deps/libffi'

I'm not exactly sure what could cause that. What happens if you follow the "build manually" instruction in the README?

err, these older README instructions rather...

Thanks - but still fails on the last step. The build of the static lib seems to work, although I cant seem to find it afterwards...

node-ffi is looking for deps/libffi/.libs/libffi.a to be present, so make sure that's getting built

Also, make sure deps/libffi/include/ffi.h exists, since it seems to be not finding that either...

Many Thanks - I had "ar" aliased to something else - oops.

I now have libffi.a built but its now failing on the node-gyp build. Looks like the node-gyp configure command cleans out the ffi.h produced earlier (in ./deps/libffi/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/include/ffi.h). But even if I skip the configure command, it still seems to not use that one anyway.

I have tried the npm install again (with ar unaliased, but it fails in the same way).

Any thoughts on what this might be?

Cheers,
Chris

Can you try invoking node-gyp with -v to see the build command being used?

Well, I'm gonna close this since it seems to be a problem with your setup.

But perhaps try out the v1.0.0-alpha release. It seemed to build correctly on all the platforms I tested except Windows:

$ npm install ffi

Hi - thanks for the update. Not had a chance to try either of your suggestions. Hopefully next week will be a good week for that :)

Many thanks for the help.
