Re: errors building libuv on linux

[Bert Belder]

The gyp_uv file is located in the tools/ directory. You'll also need gyp for it to work; there may be a package for it (atleast, ubuntu has one), otherwise you can git clone http://git.chromium.org/external/gyp.git.

There is also a "normal" makefile, so just 'make' should do the trick too.

hello all,

i downloaded libuv with git and gyp with svn.  my linux environment is centos 5 and python 2.4.  

i have been unable to build libuv.  according to the instruction here:

https://github.com/joyent/libuv

i just need to run the command ./gyp_uv -f make.  but here is what happens.  can someone help?

failing this, is there an already-compiled version of libuv that i could obtain?

thank you,
doug

I'm sorry - I gave you the wrong instructions, these were for node.js :-/

You need to install gyp, and you also need python 2.x. But I suggest you try the makefile first.

More specifically, you need python 2.6 or 2.7. Install or symlink gyp
to build/gyp.

That Python version is too old. It's older than YouTube! Time for an upgrade ;-)

python 2.7 - check.  on to the next roadblock!

now this is happening (compiling on centos 5).  switching to gcc 4.1.2 doesn't change anything.

building this is proving to be unnecessarily difficult.  are there pre-compiled versions of libuv available anywhere?

thank you,

You're probably missing some kernel headers. I forgot what the package
is called on RHEL derivatives but they're in linux-headers-generic on
Debian-based distros.

We don't provide precompiled binaries, by the way.
