Same issue on xubuntu 11.10

[creationix]

Is this from npm or from git? I thought these issues were already fixed.

[nikswap]

from npm

[creationix]

Try it now, I pushed a new version that works on node v0.6.14 using node-gyp.

[nikswap]

Yes, that solved it, thanks :-)

I can make it build, but then:

Same here. OSX 10.8.1. node v0.8.6

node-gyp rebuild

CXX(target) Release/obj.target/libnode-sdl/src/helpers.o
../src/helpers.cc:4:10: fatal error: 'SDL.h' file not found
#include <SDL.h>

I installed sdl through homebrew: /usr/local/Cellar/sdl/1.2.15/include/SDL/SDL.h

Looks like this is the issue: http://forums.libsdl.org/viewtopic.php?t=5997&sid=73840727929628eced1704a39bdc7fba

Changing the includes to SDL/SDL.h seems to make it happy.

[Freezerburn]

These bindings can be built on OS X right now. (my main development machine is OS X) However, the library paths are currently hardcoded to use /usr/local/lib/. I am going to be working on making it easier to build the bindings without having those paths hardcoded :)

If the problem persists with the major overhaul, please feel free to open a new issue. I am currently cleaning out old issues so that new ones with the overhaul can be brought front and center.

@Freezerburn I'm trying to use cylon to talk to a joystick on my macbook with 10.9.5. The hybridgroup repo has issues disabled. Do you have instructions for correctly installing sdl and this addon. Just installing via npm fails. I have both SDL from brew and the framework downloaded from the website.

[Freezerburn]

@creationix If you still need help with this: You should pull down the repo (and not use NPM, which needs to be updated) and build from that. You might need to modify the locations that the build looks for the SDL dylibs to where brew put them, as they're hardcoded to /usr/local/lib.

[creationix]

Thanks. I ended up giving up entirely on SDL and using another library for gamepad support. The new bindings work great and are super easy to build. https://github.com/creationix/node-gamepad

[JoeriBultheel]

@Freezerburn I'm still in need of doing this. Could you please elaborate on the install instructions plse! It would help me out a lot. I'm currently lost. I cloned this repo into my node_modules directory of the project i'm working on that needs sdl. i renamed the folder from "node-sdl" to "sdl" as the node-code inlcuded a 'var SDL = require('sdl');' statement.

Could you please help me with the installation, i'm running OS X10.11, node v.4.4.7, npm 2.15.8.

Thank you
