meta-nodejs error with Yocto

[rtvs16]

I tried putting the layer as indicated and the system indicated an error during compiling.

Details:
Using Yocto-fido
Build Configuration:
BB_VERSION = "1.26.0"
BUILD_SYS = "x86_64-linux"
NATIVELSBSTRING = "Ubuntu-14.04"
TARGET_SYS = "arm-poky-linux-gnueabi"
MACHINE = "beaglebone"
DISTRO = "poky"
DISTRO_VERSION = "1.8.2"
TUNE_FEATURES = "arm armv7a vfp neon callconvention-hard cortexa8"
TARGET_FPU = "vfp-neon"
meta
meta-yocto
meta-yocto-bsp
meta-nodejs = "fido:900d7d6b59c36b2bdbd1c85febec99e80ab54f95"

I add nodejs in the local.conf as follows
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = "nodejs"

Then I run bitbake nodejs and the system report the next error
... make[1]: execvp: printf: Argument list too long

I gave a try with Yocto-Krogoth with same results

I saw that this issue was patched before
https://github.com/imyller/meta-nodejs/issues/9 but it seems that is back, is that the case?

I noticed that you have

meta-nodejs = "fido:900d7d6b59c36b2bdbd1c85febec99e80ab54f95"

This repository does not have fido branch or even commit 900d7d6b59c36b2bdbd1c85febec99e80ab54f95

What is the source for your meta-nodejs layer?

[imyller]

Also, same advice applies as given in issue #9

• Make sure your default shell is bash
• Make your layer path as short as possible (OpenSSL is sensitive for this)
• If that does not help, use shared OpenSSL library

Thanks for your quick response. I am testing in a local copy, that's why you don't see it in the main branch. I just downloaded your code and install it.

In regards of the bash, I am on that, so it is ok.

But here is the interesting part. I have one of your prev version (I beleive) BUT I am using it only in a recipe (instead of a layer) and it compiles and works without a problem.
Looking at the differences, I can see minor. Comments?

Left side is the old version that works.

[imyller]

What Node.js version are you trying to build?

[rtvs16]

0.12

[imyller]

There have been OpenSSL compilation issues with Node.js 0.x outside Yocto projects too.

I'm currently testing 0.12 builds in my build server.

[imyller]

Please try with latest repo version for master or krogoth branch. I'm not maintaining branch for Yocto fido.

0.12 and 0.8 both compiled successfully with:

Build Configuration:
BB_VERSION        = "1.31.0"
BUILD_SYS         = "x86_64-linux"
NATIVELSBSTRING   = "Ubuntu-14.04"
TARGET_SYS        = "arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi"
MACHINE           = "beaglebone"
DISTRO            = "angstrom"
DISTRO_VERSION    = "v2016.06"
TUNE_FEATURES     = "arm armv7a vfp thumb neon       callconvention-hard"
TARGET_FPU        = "hard"

Hurray!, It works! I tested back in fido and it works too!
Thanks!!!

[imyller]

Glad to hear! I'm closing this issue as resolved.
