Issue during atom build with pathwatcher

[Ablu]

Hi,

trying to build latest master of atom fails with an issue with pathwatcher.

I do not understand it. But maybe you do? :)

If you need more info let me know what you need:

ablu@localhost: ~/atom (master)$ script/build

What version of python are you using? The build does not work with python 3.

[Ablu]

I put python 2.7.5 first in path:

ablu@localhost: ~$ python --version
Python 2.7.5

[kevinsawicki]

Sorry, it looks like python 2.6 is required on Linux, can you try with that version?

[Ablu]

Need to compile that. Though 2.6 is no longer available for recent fedora versions. You should definitely at least support 2.7 (better 3). But I will test it anyway.

[kevinsawicki]

It isn't this library that requires Python 2.6, it is the native module build system that ships with node, node-gyp.

[Ablu]

Hm. Why was I able to build atom then before with the same version of fedora (so also 2.7)?

[kevinsawicki]

Not sure, maybe this isn't a Python 2.6 problem, the stack trace just looked an awful lot like nodejs/node-gyp#363 which mentions python 2.6 being needed or removing the OS install of gyp.

[Ablu]

I cannot easily build python 2.6 due to missing dependencies. Also that version of python is now about 4 years outdated. Also I built atom before on this system (and not using python 2.6). So i doubt that this should be the issue (and if so it was introduced later).

[kevinsawicki]

Does your system have gyp installed?

[Ablu]

Yes. It is the fedora gyp from the system repository. Currently checking out wether that makes issues.

Version: 0.1-0.11.1617svn.fc20
npm: 1.3.6-5.fc20

That info is also listed in my very first message at the bottom of the log

[Ablu]

Fixed it by replacing my system gyp with the npm one (though the npm one had some issues to install and also installed to /lib even on 64bit). But at least it works and i garbaged my nice root a bit more :P

Thanks a lot for your help!

Regards,
Erik

Sure thing, glad to hear things are working now.
