Thanks for the offer - I ended up waiting it out. This may be handy in the future - I'll keep it in mind (rarely need to build from source on my n900). Thanks

Had to rebuild from /, because my SDCard was fat and couldn't execute or (after remounting with umask) support symlinks.

The binary seems to work ok for simple scripts, but has an issue with some NPM packages... may be related to SD issue above - think I'll try formatting as ext3

Re: [REQUEST] NodeJS for Maemo

This is how I compiled nodejs: http://krispypen.github.com/blog/201...for-your-n900/

I did a super-easy performance test on the N900:

for loop from 0 to 100000000 doing a + b each time:

nodejs:

Code:

console.log("start");

var a = 0;

for(var i = 0; i < 100000000; i++) {

  a = a + i;

  a = a - i;

}

console.log("ok");

startup time node: 1s
for loop time: 2,5s

python:

Code:

print "start"

a = 0

for x in range (0, 100000000):

        a = a + x;

        a = a - x;

print "ok"

startup time: 0.2s
for loop time: 620s

Re: [REQUEST] NodeJS for Maemo

Thanks Kris, wish I had your guide to follow when I started out :-)

Hopefully this will fix some of the issues I'm seeing in my haqq'd together build.

Are you able to build Twitter Bootrap ok with it? http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/ (less + some others)

Are you trying to build https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/zipball/master ? Or are your trying to do "npm install twitter-bootstrap" ?

Re: [REQUEST] NodeJS for Maemo

I created a github repository where we can put some testing snippets: https://github.com/krispypen/NodeJSForMaemoSnippets
I already made a working snippet for creating a call and sending an sms :)

Re: [REQUEST] NodeJS for Maemo

Any chance someone could package this up and put it in extras-devel?

Re: [REQUEST] NodeJS for Maemo

AapoRantalainen told me 3 days ago that he's trying to do it. I'm not yet familliar with packaging. I created a zip file with the compiled node and npm in it, so maybe this can help you at the moment. https://github.com/krispypen/NodeJSF.../master/binary

Trying to build from source. I think my local build is a bit flaky.

Re: [REQUEST] NodeJS for Maemo

nodejs (0.8.12) on the extras-devel. Fully optified. Run

Code:

/opt/node/bin/node

npm is working, usage example

Code:

/opt/node/bin/npm install socket.io

(Seems npm needs gcc installed as well. Run on directory where you have write access. Tested only on ext2 filesystem.)

There are little bit hacking (=packeting magic) because autobuilders 'python' is python2.3 and it really needs python2.5. (Documentation says it needs python2.6?).

-----
[EDIT]
This is list of upstream bugs affecting Maemo5. Whoever makes next release should check results of these:
https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/2210 : consistently use #!/usr/bin/env python in gyp (maybe)
https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/4076 : simplejson (for python2.5) and LINK=g++ (as flock fails)
https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/4142 : arm_neon (deps/v8/build/common.gypi)
https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/4144 : only --without-snapshot works

This might be useful note too:

Code:

export PYTHON=python2.5

#export PYTHON=python2.7

$PYTHON ./configure

------
Central place for N900 snippets is very good idea, please use it and share your creations.

Re: [REQUEST] NodeJS for Maemo

Simple www-server for testing nodejs: https://github.com/krispypen/NodeJSF.../www-server.js

Serves static html, css, js, png, jpg, jpeg-files.
Default port is 9002.
Uses socket.io.
