Hi!

The node.exe for 0.5.5 is about half the size smaller than previous releases.

Was this executeble compressed with a runtime packer?

Greetings

Benjamin

maybe stripped ?

[Paul Spaulding]

node.exe ->

Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point CreateSymbolicLinkA could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll.

This is new; I never had this error on the previous versions of node.exe.

Upgrade your gcc or strip the -Werror directives from
deps/v8/SConstruct. It's a gcc bug that's been fixed in 4.1.

On Mac OS X 10.5, /usr/bin/g++ is version 4.0, though 4.2 is available as /usr/bin/g++-4.2. On Mac OS X 10.4, /usr/bin/g++ is version 4.0 and no newer version is available from Apple.

Is the above error a problem that will be fixed in the node source code, or is gcc >= 4.1 a requirement? If the latter, we'll have to make some changes for the nodejs port in MacPorts to force the use of a newer compiler.

[Ben Noordhuis]

We normally don't patch the bundled V8 - maintenance hassle and all
that - but I talked to one of the V8 guys and he was willing to land a
fix upstream. Can you or someone else double-check the attached patch?

Separate from the OSX build error, I'm seeing the same build error on Fedora 15 with GCC 4.6 that I saw on v0.5.4 :

/usr/lib/ccache/g++ -o obj/release/ia32/full-codegen-ia32.o -c -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -Wall -Werror -W -Wno-unused-parameter -Wnon-virtual-dtor -pedantic -m32 -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -fdata-sections -ffunction-sections -ansi -DV8_TARGET_ARCH_IA32 -DENABLE_DEBUGGER_SUPPORT -I/home/Tom/study/javascript/node.js/node-v0.5.5/deps/v8/src /home/Tom/study/javascript/node.js/node-v0.5.5/deps/v8/src/ia32/full-codegen-ia32.cc

scons: building terminated because of errors.

Pursuant to your suggestion last time I tried the "strip the -Werror directives from deps/v8/SConstruct" thing:

[Tom@TLSF15A v8]$ diff SConstruct.v0.5.5.original SConstruct
291d290
<                        '-Werror',

And, after first doing a "make distclean" to ensure a valid test, the make now completed successfully.

Is this the same situation you mention elsewhere with regard to not wanting to patch v8, even though it means node v0.5.x doesn't build "out of the box" ?

[Evgeny Bogdanov]

Is this a stable release?

Should I switch from 0.4.10 to 0.5.5?

[Phil Plante]

0.5.x is unstable, 0.6.x will be the stable release.  Generally builds with even numbers 0.4.x or 0.6.0 are considered "stable", odd build numbers 0.5.x are considered unstable as they are where the current development is happening.

[EllisGL]

Downloaded that fix, now http.listen doesn't exist.

Using the code from the "hello world" front page example.

Okay, thanks. We're going to strip the -Werror directives from now on.
