P/NPM install gl fails (gl is not compatible with GCC13)

[SomeAspy]

I have re-read the readme section a few times, but I have been unable to get this to build.
I'm pretty sure this is something I am doing wrong.

I am on Arch Linux with Node 21.5.0

If I am missing any expected details, I apologize.

Possibly related to #270, however I don't have the python issue they have here:

npm ERR! /bin/sh: 1: python: not found
npm ERR! gyp: Call to 'python commit_id.py check ..' returned exit status 127 while in angle/src/angle.gyp. while loading dependencies of binding.gyp while trying to load binding.gyp

@SomeAspy I found this issue gpujs/gpu.js#770 (comment) which points to GCC13 being the cause.

I was building the binary in a docker container with the docker image node:20.10-alpine3.19 (which uses GCC13) first and got the error ../angle/src/common/angleutils.h:36:14: error: ‘uintptr_t’ does not name a type as well. When switching to the docker image node:20.10-alpine3.18 (which uses GCC12), I was able to build the binary.

Of course it would be great if the binary could be built with GCC13 :)

[SomeAspy]

After messing around with the dockerfile a bit I was able to get it to build.
It does indeed build with Node 20.10, but I ended up just using 21.5.0.
For anyone who ends up in this position, my dockerfile is as follows:

FROM node:21.5.0-alpine3.18

RUN apk add libxext-dev python3 pkgconf libxi-dev make g++ mesa-dev --no-cache

as you said, it would be nice to get this working with GCC13, so I don't have to spin up a docker container just to build.
I'm not sure if I should rename this issue, or open another one about GCC13 not working.

I'm hitting this error even though I tried multiple versions of GCC. (13, 12, 11, and 10)

However, adding the required library (to angle/src/common/angleutils.h) just seemed to work (with GGC13)

Hey @dhritzkiv,
Please consider merging the PR below:

• Add missing #include <cstdint> angle#3

[linev]

We suffer from this problem for more than one year.
Finally I just fork repository and fix this annoying problem there.

https://github.com/linev/headless-gl

https://www.npmjs.com/package/jsroot-gl

I hope that such simple fix also can be applied here as well.

Hey @linev, thanks for putting up a fork and publishing the package with the fix. I wonder would it be possible to also upload the pre-built binaries like it's being done in this repo? It'd make the install process with the additional patch much easier to use, at least in our case

[linev]

@ilijapuaca That is procedure to upload pre-build binaries?

[ilijapuaca]

I am not quite sure, I assume that they get uploaded as part of the publish/release process

[dhritzkiv]

Hi all. Sorry for the long wait.

The fix is merged in and available in v8.0.2
