I have adjusted the binding.gyp file to include the linker settings required for including the HDF5 libs I need. I believe that the current gyp file mirrors a Makefile that I am able to get working, for HDF5's stand alone compile. The only difference is that you're supposed to run the HDF5 Makefile with this custom binary, h5c++, that I think does some additional build configurations for you.
I only see two options here, I think. One option would be to compile this node lib using that h5c++ binary. The other option would be to figure out what that h5c++ binary does, and reproduce it within the binding.gyp file. Currently, using this binding.gyp file, my node lib will compile and I assume it also links with hdf5 lib now. (https://github.com/ryancole/node-hdf5/blob/master/binding.gyp) I have updated to a node version 0.7+, and can see the error message when I try to require my node lib, now. It looks like this: ryan@ryan-server:~/repos/node-hdf5$ node > > > require('./build/Release/hdf5') > > Error: libhdf5.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or >> directory > > at Object..node (module.js:475:11) > > at Module.load (module.js:351:32) > > at Function._load (module.js:309:12) > > at Module.require (module.js:357:17) > > at require (module.js:373:17) > > at repl:1:2 > > at REPLServer.eval (repl.js:110:21) > > at Interface.<anonymous> (repl.js:249:12) > > at Interface.emit (events.js:87:17) > > at Interface._onLine (readline.js:178:10) > > That's with my .gyp file as-is. When I try to run this command, "node-gyp build CXX=/path/to/h5c++", I get an error saying that I need to try again using the -fPIC parameter. No matter where I specify that parameter, it just seems to tell me to try again using -fPIC. I think I may be heading down the wrong path with that -fPIC, though. Anyway, just wanted to document my leaving-off-spot so that I can pick up with it tomorrow. Also, so that if anybody has any suggestions they could share them too! :) Thanks all, Ryan -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
