Hi Jean-Claude Yes, I can give you my current work state. It is attached as tar.gz
You will find:- A patch that will add support for node.js to a local project (not into ptxdist itself)
- A local_src directory with a build script Everything is based on ptxdist 14.1.0 (from phytec) Some comments - I only tested node +ssl +npm (no ssl doesn't compile for some reason)- It will also add a host node package. This is necessary to build node_modules for the target on the host. This should probably be moved into cross section. - npm on the target works, as long as it doesn't want to compile anything. - My procedure to get node_modules on the target is: extract local_src from tar.gz into your project. Use the ./build_module.sh with a list of module required on target (e.g. ./build_module.sh can socket.io ejs) and move the node_modules directory to the target
This currently works for me. Things to do:- Creation of node modules withing ptxdist (E.g. through node application in ptxdist with a dependency list) - More important: How to strip down node.js and node_modules (Remove documentation, sources, ... not needed on a embedded target)
Hope this helps. Any feedback is appreciated. Alex On 2014-12-09 11:04, Jean-Claude Monnin wrote:
Hi Alex, I would like to integrate node.js in my image. Would it be possible to share your existing rules (even if it’s in a unfinished state)?

I use ptxdist to crosscompile my ARM based linux.I already succeeded in crosscompiling the nodejs base package and it works on the target.Node.js is special in some kind. To add extra modules it uses its own packet manager "npm". Some packages will build some binaries right on the target system upon installing. This will not work on a cross compiled target (with no compilers installed)So my approach is to allow the user to select additional modules and cross compile these modules on the host.So I guess I also need to build nodejs for the host to get my hands on the npm package manager. I created a host-node package and it successfully compiles.About the next steps I am unsure how to do that:- My host-node package currently does fetch/prepare/compile. What do I need to do in install or targetinstall? Currently my host-node gets installed into platform-XXX/sysroot-host- I need to use host built npm in (target) node to fetch modules. How do I correctly access the npm package manager?Is there any documentation about host tools usage? What is the meaning of cross tools?Thanks for any hint Best regards Alex Raimondi -- ptxdist mailing list [email protected]
