Installing on Raspberry Zero W

[markusl]

Hi,

I'm receiving the following error when trying to install the library on Raspberry Zero W with Node.js v16.17.0.

npm WARN deprecated node-pre-gyp@0.15.0: Please upgrade to @mapbox/node-pre-gyp: the non-scoped node-pre-gyp package is deprecated and only the @mapbox scoped package will recieve updates in the future

Do you happen to have an idea why this is happening and how to fix this?

package.json contains following entries:

    "aws-crt": "^1.14.3",
    "aws-iot-device-sdk-v2": "^1.8.7",

The code works just fine on a macOS.

Same here with node v18.8.0 on a raspi zero w.

Thank you for letting us know of this issue! I have a PR to fix the issue.

In the meantime, you can fix the issue locally by going to node_modules/aws-crt/scripts/build.js, opening it in a text editor, and moving line const nativeSourceDir = "crt/"; (should be at line 188) to line 15 (just below the const tar = require("tar") so it is globally defined. This should fix the issue and allow you to build it on the Raspberry Pi 🙂

Version 1.14.4 was just released with the fix and should soon be available in NPM.
Edit: Fixed in the Javascript SDK as well in release v1.8.8
