Windows node-webkit support about node-pcsclite HOT 32 CLOSED

@mn1aC Hi! Sorry for the delay. I somehow missed the notification.
I've this PR: #24 that should allow to use this module in windows. See: #17. Still I haven't been able to test it thoroughly. If you could test it if works for you it'd be great!

from node-pcsclite.

What with mac?

apt-get install libpcsclite1 libpcsclite-dev

will not work on mac...

from node-pcsclite.

node-pcsclite should work on Mac OS X. But the installation procedure is different.

See http://ludovicrousseau.blogspot.fr/2014/09/pcsc-sample-in-javascript-nodejs.html

from node-pcsclite.

So from what i'm reading the current version should work on Win and Mac OS X?

from node-pcsclite.

I don's see any installation procedure for Mac OS X at http://ludovicrousseau.blogspot.fr/2014/09/pcsc-sample-in-javascript-nodejs.html

from node-pcsclite.

I'm using node-webkit (nwjs.io)..

from node-pcsclite.

@mn1aC The current status of the module is:

• Linux: I have a couple of applications in production and have been working correctly for more than a year.
• Mac OS X: thanks to the help of @LudovicRousseau and others, I know it works. I don't know how stable it is as I don't work in that platform. To make it work in Max OS X I think you have to activate the pcscd service, I think there was a blogpost from @LudovicRousseau explaining how to do that but I can't find the link now.
• Windows: no support in the last published version (0.3.6). Implemented in the attached_threads branch. See: #24. I'll try to merge it as soon as I can test it properly. Some help would be appreciated

from node-pcsclite.

Ok @santigimeno I'm going to start looking into windows and after that try it on Mac.
I'll post my findings here...

from node-pcsclite.

npm install pcsclite (failed)...

I downloaded the folder from git and extracted it in node_modules/pcsclite

nw-gyp rebuild --msvs_version=2013
failed, because 'nan' was not found.
So I did: npm install nan (in the node_modules/pcsclite folder)
Retry: nw-gyp rebuild --msvs_version=2013
But still cannot compile for node-webkit on windows..

Ok so the unistd.h is not supported on windows it's a unix thing...

from node-pcsclite.

With node-gyp instead of nw-gyp it's the same error I'm getting

Any idea's how to move forward?

from node-pcsclite.

@mn1aC It looks to me you're using the code from master and not from the attached_threads branch as explained in #30 (comment)

from node-pcsclite.

Yeah, that error makes more sense. I have updated the attached_threads branch. Can you try again? Thanks!

from node-pcsclite.

@santigimeno with the adjusted branch attached_threads I get the following...

@mn1aC Thanks for the info. A couple of things:

• Can I see the output of npm ls inside the pcsclite module?
• Can you simply try to build the pcsclite outside the nw environment? (just using npm ,node-gyp)

from node-pcsclite.

from node-pcsclite.

in pcsclite folder:
node-gyp configure (OK)
node-gyp build (OK)

so it seems node-webkit needs something different?

from node-pcsclite.

@mn1aC I have made a small modification in the attached_threads branch. Can you try again?

from node-pcsclite.

@santigimeno build worked now. 👍
I'm going to test if the cardreader works now ..

(downloaded attached_threads in folder node_modules/pcsclite)
(went into the folder pcsclite: npm install nan, npm install buffertools, npm install bindings)
(nw-gyp rebuild -msvs_version=2013)

from node-pcsclite.

@santigimeno in de nwjs code I added:
var pcsc = require('pcsclite'); alert("ok");
but I get the following error in console:
Uncaught Error: Cannot find module './build/Debug/buffertools.node' module.js:329

Any idea's?

from node-pcsclite.

npm rebuild?

from node-pcsclite.

Same problem (I did the npm rebuild in the main folder)

from node-pcsclite.

Seems odd to me. Can you try to find a buffertools.node file in the node_modules source tree?

from node-pcsclite.

I found the buffertools.node file in node_modules/pcsclite/node_modules/buffertools/build/Release folder. Changed the name from Release to Debug and tried again...

Uncaught Error: Invalid access to memorylocation
C:\Users\User\Desktop\nw\nw\nw\node_modules\pcsclite\node_modules\buffertools\build\Debug\buffertools.node (module.js:346)

from node-pcsclite.

This is weird, looking at the buffertools code, first it should try to look into the Release folder, then into the Debug folder:

try {
    var buffertools = require('./build/Release/buffertools.node');
} catch (e) {
    var buffertools = require('./build/Debug/buffertools.node');
}

I don't know what's going on. You could try to narrow down the error:

• Try pcsclite outside nw and see if it works.
• Try buffertools only in nw and see if it works.
• etc.

from node-pcsclite.

Ok I'll keep looking and post my findings here.

from node-pcsclite.

@mn1aC Just to be sure:

• Download the attached_threads branch somewhere.
• Go to you application root folder and run npm install path-to-pcsclite-module. This command should install and build the module.
• Run your app

from node-pcsclite.

Running! Thanks for help! 👍

from node-pcsclite.

Now I need to look into belgium eID cards, don't know how to talk to them..
