npm i [email protected]

Your Environment

• Environment (e.g. node 4.2.0 on Mac OS X 10.8): Ubuntu 17.10

[LinusU]

I've just released [email protected] which falls backs to building from source, it should work as before 👍

[huan]

Linux works now, but Darwin not! :P

[LinusU]

That seems like a problem with your build setup. Unfortunately it's quite complicated to install Node.js native addons 😞

[huan]

Yes, I saw the Python3 problem.

However there's still a 404 error above, I believe we are missing the file https://github.com/node-gfx/node-canvas-prebuilt/releases/download/v2.0.0-alpha.11/canvas-prebuilt-v2.0.0-alpha.11-node-v59-darwin-x64.tar.gz too.

[LinusU]

Yeah, we currently don't have an automatic way of creating prebuilts...

It would be nice if TravisCI/CircleCI could do that 😄

[chearon]

Like a way to trigger node-gfx/node-canvas-prebuilt or do you want them to happen in the node-canvas Travis? It does take a lot of customizations / scripts.

I bet we could set something up that triggers a canvas-prebuilt release when you push a version number change, but you'd still want to wait a bit before npm publish

[huan]

@chearon @LinusU I can't agree anymore, let's setup CI to do create prebuilt automatically. 👍

[LinusU]

I think you can set travis to trigger builds whenever a tag that matches vX.X.X is created 🤔

[binbinlau]

maybe you can try 'npm i [email protected]'. @zixia

[cristianodp]

Hello everyone, I have de the problem reported by Zixia. Is there any solution or alternative way install canvas?

[chearon]

@cristianodp I'm updating the binaries now but you may need to install a different version as described above

I think you can set travis to trigger builds whenever a tag that matches vX.X.X is created 🤔

@LinusU yeah, but I think doing it that way would mean we have to move the node-canvas-prebuilt stuff to this repo. It has to

• Build the Linux release in a Docker container
• Use 3 different scripts to bundle dependencies for each platform
• Currently the Windows build builds off of Msys2
• Uses customized binding.gyp files

I'm just not sure we want to add all of that to the canvas repo or not, but we totally could. I could get rid of the last bullet, but the rest would be a bunch of new files/build steps.

The easiest path forward that I can think of is create some kind of release script that invokes canvas-prebuilt CI servers.

[zbjornson]

I think doing it that way would mean we have to move the node-canvas-prebuilt stuff to this repo ...

We can install a github hook that triggers whatever we need -- e.g. it could trigger running the release script. Might be something like [github hook for tag] -> [Cloud Function that kicks-off stuff] -> [docker builds].

[LinusU]

Uses customized binding.gyp files

Are these any changes that would be nice to upstream here anyways? Could be a good first step :)

[chearon]

If I remember correctly I had to modify the Linux build so the binary looks in its own dir for dependencies. Could do that in "release mode" with a CLI argument. And the Windows build has a heavily modified GYP file so that it can build off of MSYS. That would probably involve some directory searching similar to what we already do to find libraries, so yeah, could be beneficial here.

Then we need:

• Node iteration, which could be done by prebuild or by node-canvas-prebuilt scripts
• Bundling, which would all have to be moved over from node-canvas-prebuilt
• Releasing to GitHub, can move the zero-dependency release.js from node-canvas-prebuilt

So it'd take some time, but might be nice to have it all here

[chearon]

All binaries through alpha 12 are finally live.

[marcsyp]

Hi all, I'm a bit of a n00b with docker containers, and I'm receiving a similar error using [email protected]

My amateur debugging sense tells me that perhaps the prebuilt binary for my combination of canvas + node does not exist. Is there a way for me to downgrade my node to a specific version to enable me to build my docker container? (It was building fine with canvas 1.X).

Thanks,
Marc

Incidentally, I was able to solve this build error by downgrading to canvas-2.0.0-alpha.11 (didn't work) and then downgrading my Dockerfile node image reference to Node:8. Hopefully this is helpful for anyone else having similar issues.

Q: My container is linux and I am doing dev testing in Node 9.7.1 in Windows. Are there any issues with the changes above that I should be aware of?

Thanks!

Marc

[chearon]

Probably the binary didn't download because of node-gfx/node-canvas-prebuilt#35.

That's not an error, though, since it will continue to build, which is where your real errors are:

Package pangocairo was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing pangocairo.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'pangocairo' found
...

[marcsyp]

Interesting -- thanks for the tip... not sure how to do that though, with the pre-built docker container template I am using (I was using Node:9 until downgrading to Node:8 solved my problem, but would be happy to go back to 9). Any tips/links for adding that PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable, finding the right path value, etc?

Thanks!
Marc
