Windows node-webkit support

Does this work on windows?

Answer 1 · 2015-03-17T15:16:24.000Z

@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!

Answer 2 · 2015-03-20T18:37:34.000Z

What with mac?

apt-get install libpcsclite1 libpcsclite-dev

will not work on mac...

Answer 3 · 2015-03-20T18:59:05.000Z

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

Answer 4 · 2015-03-20T19:00:21.000Z

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

Answer 5 · 2015-03-20T19:03:10.000Z

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

Answer 6 · 2015-03-20T19:14:48.000Z

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

Answer 7 · 2015-03-21T12:33:03.000Z

@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

Answer 8 · 2015-03-22T11:38:42.000Z

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

Answer 9 · 2015-03-22T11:53:21.000Z

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...

Answer 11 · 2015-03-22T12:04:47.000Z

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

Any idea's how to move forward?

Answer 12 · 2015-03-22T12:35:33.000Z

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

Answer 13 · 2015-03-22T13:40:31.000Z

Answer 14 · 2015-03-22T14:14:53.000Z

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

Answer 15 · 2015-03-22T19:47:51.000Z

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

Answer 16 · 2015-03-23T09:06:16.000Z

@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)

Answer 17 · 2015-03-23T10:49:43.000Z

`pcsclite@0.3.6 C:\Users\Electro Cornelis\Desktop\nw\nw\nw\node_modules\pcsclite

Answer 18 · 2015-03-23T10:51:11.000Z

Now I did

npm install buffertools
npm install bindings

npm ls gives

Answer 19 · 2015-03-23T10:55:16.000Z

Went into node_modules/pcsclite/node_modules/bindings and did nw-gyp rebuild -msvs_version=2013 (failed)
Went into node_modules/pcsclite/node_modules/buffertools and did nw-gyp rebuild -msvs_version=2013 (worked)

in the node_modules/pcsclite folder nw-gyp rebuild -msvs_version=2013

Answer 20 · 2015-03-23T10:58:14.000Z

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

so it seems node-webkit needs something different?

Answer 21 · 2015-03-23T11:08:36.000Z

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

Answer 22 · 2015-03-23T13:02:12.000Z

@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)

Answer 23 · 2015-03-23T13:10:14.000Z

@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?

Answer 24 · 2015-03-23T13:17:44.000Z

npm rebuild?

Answer 25 · 2015-03-23T13:46:42.000Z

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

Answer 26 · 2015-03-23T13:50:07.000Z

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

Answer 27 · 2015-03-23T13:53:52.000Z

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)

Answer 28 · 2015-03-23T14:01:06.000Z

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.

Answer 29 · 2015-03-23T14:07:02.000Z

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

Answer 30 · 2015-03-23T14:26:17.000Z

@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

Answer 31 · 2015-03-23T17:01:26.000Z

Running! Thanks for help! 👍

Answer 32 · 2015-03-23T17:02:00.000Z

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