Having trouble compiling node 0.1.2
chris
I managed to compile node 0.1.0 just fine, but 0.1.2 is not compiling
on my 32 AMD Ubuntu.
It could totally be my system, but I can't really figure out what the
pchrislem could be. Does anyone have an idea? My ./configure and make
outputs are pasted below.

the trouble:

I'll update this thread once I am able to fix it.

V8 failed to compile, and it was a known V8 error. It has been fixed
in V8 bleeding edge:
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=414
The way I fixed it was to just simply follow the instructions in the
make output:
explicit braces around empty body in 'while' statement
src/platform-linux.cc:253: error: suggest a space before ';' or
explicit braces around empty body in 'while' statement

It seems like v0.1.2 does not compile well from scratch at this point.
However, we were able to do this:
$ git checkout v0.0.6
$ ./configure && make && make install
$ git checkout v0.1.2
$ make && make install
My intuition says that this works because "make" does not realize v8
was updated and we are actually building against an older v8 version.
Ryan, could you try to look into building v0.1.2 from scratch? If the
current build is indeed broken right out of the box that would totally
keep new users from joining : /.

It builds for me on Ubuntu, Mac, and FreeBSD (I forget what versions)
- so at least some are able to compile it.
I'll do a new release tomorrow or the next day. Hopefully they'll
release a new V8 version in the mean time, otherwise I'll just apply
that patch.
thanks

chris linked to.
But I'll try again on a fresh machine that never had node installed
before when the new release comes out to see if it helps/

Can you try to build udns alone? Do you get the same error? This might
be a problem with the udns library.

However, I was able to manually fix it. Running "ranlib libudns.a"
generated the table of contents and the running make again worked.
Though, I wasn't able to compile node itself afterwards.

Thanks.
Can you please apply this patch (which just adds ranlib to the udns
build script) and check that you can rebuild node from scratch:
make distclean && ./configure && make
Hopefully that fixes the issue?

Urban Hafner
Yes, that fixes it for me.

After trying to compile udns and failing just like your post... I ran "ranlib libudns.a" and then I could make without error... I then backed up to the node and tried building and it built fine.
