When attempting to install the npm odbc on IBMi 7.4 it appears there might be a versioning issue. I followed the install instructions but when I attempt the npm install odbc it comes back with this:

-bash-4.4$ npm install odbc

odbc@2.3.5 install /home/DTJARED/odbctest/node_modules/odbc
node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build

Seems that there is no pre-built binary for this package on IBM i. You may need to install the GCC packages first to build it from source.

yum groups install "Development Tools"

I can get that prebuilt binary uploaded tomorrow. I've been putting it off for too long and it shouldn't be too difficult. Will post here when it's done.

markdirish commented

@jared-draper There should now be a aix-ppc64 pre-built binary that was built-for and runs on IBM i. Node.js as IBM i identifies process.platform as aix, but I'm looking to see:

  1. What it would take to get an ibmi platform
  2. That this binary works on acutal AIX.
jared-draper commented

Ok thanks @markdirish !

I was following your session in TechU which led me here.

I was able to get it installed after installing the dev tools group but I think it would be nice to get the pre-builts out there.

markdirish commented

Closing because pre-built binary is now available and @jared-draper was able to build after installing the development tools
