Working Node.js on Raspberry Pi

gistfile1.txt

These instructions work for the Raspberry Pi running Raspbian (hard float), and include a working NPM:

1. Install Raspbian - http://www.raspbian.org/PiscesImages
2. sudo apt-get install git-core build-essential
3. Check out Node.js source (0.8.2)
4. Apply patch available at https://github.com/gflarity/node_pi (ignore most of the instructions)
5. Set up some variables:

    $ export GYP_DEFINES="armv7=0"
    $ export CXXFLAGS='-march=armv6 -mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=hard -DUSE_EABI_HARDFLOAT'
    $ export CCFLAGS='-march=armv6 -mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=hard -DUSE_EABI_HARDFLOAT'

6. Configure correctly:

    $ ./configure --shared-openssl --without-snapshot
    $ make
    $ make test
    $ make install
