nodejs compilation failure

[mellowcandle]

This occurs only when path is long (on CI machine)
I think it's because of chromium dependency in nodejs.
looks like: imyller/meta-nodejs#9

@andrey-konovalov can you have a look?

[andrey-konovalov]

@fboudra ok, will do

[mellowcandle]

@andrey-konovalov any update ?

[andrey-konovalov]

@mellowcandle thanks for the pointers, and sorry for the delayed reply.

Looking at nodejs version in your log snippet, you are using rocko.

The nodejs-8.4.0 recipe from meta-oe uses "--shared-openssl" already. So the only two options to fix the issue with the long path are:

1. not to use the long path
2. apply the patch from Build fails when the path to the build root is too long nodejs/node#9137

I've tried the 2), and it made the build to complete OK. Don't expect any breakage, but going to give this build a try on my db410c board just in case.

[andrey-konovalov]

Did some sanity testing with chromiun on db410c - no regressions as it seems.

Created #168

@mellowcandle After looking at the error log second time, I've got a question.
That "build/tmp-glibc/work/x86_64-linux/nodejs-native/8.4.0-r0/temp/log.do_compile.28276" - it doesn't look like you are using the rpb distro / setup-environment script. Otherwise it would be "build-rpb/tmp-rpb-glibc/..." or "build-rpb-wayland/tmp-rpb_wayland-glibc/..." (depending on DISTRO selected).
Are you using meta-rpb layer in your build at all (as the fix above is done in meta-rpb)? With the above fix applied, does your build/tmp-glibc/work/x86_64-linux/nodejs-native/8.4.0-r0/temp/log.do_patch has the line saying that gyp-fix-node-build-failure-with-long-build-directory-path-on-Linux.patch is applied?

[andrey-konovalov]

This is how I tested the fix:

repo init -u https://github.com/96boards/oe-rpb-manifest.git -b rocko
repo sync
cd layers/meta-rpb/
git remote add ynk https://github.com/andrey-konovalov/meta-rpb.git
git fetch ynk
git checkout -b ynk-rocko ynk/gyp-fix-node-build-failure-with-long-build-directory-path-on-linux
cd -
source setup-environment
# selected rpb-wayland DISTRO
bitbake rpb-weston-image

If I select rpb as DISTRO, and do 'bitbake rpb-desktop-image' nodejs-native builds OK as well.

Hi. it's working.
Sorry, I was away for few days. but now I tested it again it solves the problem

Thanks !
