Cross compiling node.js modules on mips Big Endian

Question

I need help cross-compiling node modules on the MIP BIG ENDIAN architecture for my Arduino Yun .. I followed a tutorial written by Fiore Bazil and published here some time ago:

http://fibasile.imtqy.com/compiling-nodejs-for-arduino-yun.html

after compiling the fixed V8 libraries and the version of the source file node 0.10.25 .... time to build the node modules!

So, I took inspiration from the Fiore script and wrote my own, adding some corrections then and there ....

#!/bin/bash

export BASEDIR=$(pwd)

# cd ${BASEDIR}/node-v0.10."$2"-mips/

export STAGING_DIR=${BASEDIR}/linino_distro/staging_dir

export V8SOURCE=${BASEDIR}/v8m-rb-dm-dev-mipsbe

export PREFIX=${STAGING_DIR}/toolchain-mips_r2_gcc-4.6-linaro_uClibc-0.9.33.2/bin/mips-openwrt-linux-

export LIBPATH=${STAGING_DIR}/toolchain-mips_r2_gcc-4.6-linaro_uClibc-0.9.33.2/lib/

#export AR=${PREFIX}uclibc-ar

export CC=${PREFIX}gcc
export CXX=${PREFIX}g++
export AR=${PREFIX}ar
export RANLIB=${PREFIX}ranlib
export LINK=${PREFIX}g++

# export LDFLAGS='-fno-use-linker-plugin'

#------------------------------------------

# export CFLAGS='-fno-use-linker-plugin'

# export CXXFLAGS='-fno-use-linker-plugin'

#------------------------------------------

export LDFLAGS='-Wl,-rpath-link '${LIBPATH}

# export TARGET_PATH=${BASEDIR}/nodeyun/opt

export GYPFLAGS="-Dv8_use_mips_abi_hardfloat=false -Dv8_can_use_fpu_instructions=false"

export npm_config_arch=mips
# path to the node source that was used to create the cross-compiled version
export npm_config_nodedir=${BASEDIR}/node-v0.10."$2"-mips

#node-gyp clean configure build --verbose --arch=mips

if [ ! -d $(pwd)/mips_modules ]
then
    mkdir $(pwd)/mips_modules
fi

cd mips_modules/

npm install "$1"

However, something doesn’t add up ..... when you run the script with

$ ./build_npm_package.sh serialport 25

but I end up getting these errors .....

> node-gyp rebuild

Answer 1

, , , . linino: http://wiki.linino.org/doku.php?id=wiki:nodepackage

script , nodejs - mips.

, , , npm, :

export npm_config_arch=mips
# path to the node source that was used to create the cross-compiled version
export npm_config_nodedir=${BASEDIR}/node-v0.10."$2"-mips

if [ ! -d $(pwd)/mips_modules_"$2" ]
then
        mkdir $(pwd)/mips_modules_"$2"
fi

cd mips_modules_"$2"/

version=`npm view "$1" version`

npm install --target_arch=mips "$1"

Answer 2

, , ! node -gyp ...
