Lumo crashes when requireing packages with .node binary

[hlolli]

After updating to lumo 1.5, packages that are running with .node binaries won't work, more specifically gyp built modules. In my case I'm using csound-api which requires csound and boost to be installed, but another reproduce-able example can be created if require-ing "netlinkwrapper": "1.0.0".
$ lumo
cljs.user=> (js/require "netlinkwrapper")
crash

These modules can be required with node 7.10.0 without crash.

@hlolli Sorry, this regression was introduced in this commit, and should be a very simple fix.

Do you want to put a PR together fixing it?

[hlolli]

Yup, I will look into this. Just getting used to setting up the dev env, been waiting 2 hours for boot dev after deleting the binary. So in next few days, thanks for the hint.

[anmonteiro]

@hlolli boot dev doesn't produce a binary. If you want a binary, run boot release

[hlolli]

lol, so I've been waiting for nothing. ehm.. how do you start lumo without creating a binary :/ ?

[anmonteiro]

yarn dev will start the DEV mode Lumo: https://github.com/anmonteiro/lumo/blob/master/package.json#L21.

But this will run under an actual Node.js. To debug this particular problem you'll need to create a binary. Thankfully the fix for this issue is simple: literally revert the change I linked above.

Any chance we could get a release for this?

[anmonteiro]

I can make a release, but would a link to a nightly build suffice for your immediate needs?

[kanaka]

Yeah, that would be fine.

This is still a problem for me from the latest Lumo nightly

Lumo 1.5.0
ClojureScript 1.9.562
Node.js v8.0.0

getting segfaults from (js/require "pacage-using-gyp-or-.node")

[hlolli]

Does not happen when I run lumo like this
node target/bundle.js -k lumo-cache -c target
Need to solve the heap size problem so that I can compile lumo and see if it comes back.

[anmonteiro]

@hlolli this seems odd but I'll reopen. Can you provide the name of a package that fails to execute?

[hlolli]

My importance is with csound-api for my live-coding environment, but that requires csound to be installed. You can try requireing "netlinkwrapper": "1.0.0" via lumo, I get exactly the same bug.

I built lumo and the binary fails, it differentiates from the nightly build, which gives me segfault, my build just causes the terminal to freeze.

[anmonteiro]

I can repro this on Ubuntu. I think the problem might be related to Lumo being statically linked, while the native packages are compiled with a different libc version.

fixed in #176
