Oh, that's excellent! That gets around the whole needing-to-depend-on-boost thing. Encouraged by all this, I'd like to proceed as follows: In the npm world, when you run npm install <package_name>, it is expected that, afterwards, you can immediately start using it. So, ideally, I'd like to avoid having to tell people to separately install iotivity and then run npm install with CFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables and instead build the C portion of iotivity as part of the node addon build. Is there an easy way of doing this? Does the C API depend on nothing more than the C library? Could I make it as simple as telling node to simply compile a bunch of C files along with the bindings C++ file, and link it all into one object? I'm going to spend some time trying to come up with answers to these questions, but if you have some pointers that will make it easier for me, I'd surely appreciate them :) TIA, Gabriel
