Please make iojs and bson works together on Windows x64

[alanpurple]

Why has this problem never solved?
Is this some kind of mission impossible?
node-gyp for iojs doesn't work.....and never updated since for several month ago

At least could you make bson.node for iojs and windows x64? and of course give us a link..

Please~

It builds just fine for me on Windows 7 64-bit, VS 2013, iojs 1.3.0, bson 0.2.21. Running the example in the bson readme works too.

[alanpurple]

Right.........
Then maybe this is the problem with Windows 8.1 x64

[mscdex]

@alanpurple I just tried on Windows 8 64-bit, VS 2012, iojs 1.6.2, same bson version. It builds fine and the readme example also works.

@alanpurple can we get an error log maybe? What version of bson and what version of io.js?

[alanpurple]

Okay now I'm about to try again...
@Fishrock123 bson version 0.2.18, iojs 1.4.x

Even I don't know how to make node-gyp work for iojs....(I just modified node-gyp source code for iojs)

And I finally got module error from iojs console

@alanpurple You'll need to use the node-gyp that ships with io.js. Here's the floating patch we still need to apply each time npm updates: 269e46b

Also, you need to use at least bson 0.2.19: https://github.com/mongodb/js-bson/releases/tag/V0.2.19

[Fishrock123]

See also #456 -- native packages either require NAN 1.6+, or updated native bindings to run on io.js (or even node 0.12)

[alanpurple]

@Fishrock123 sorry I use 0.2.19 and I successfully built node.js version(which means I know what to do)

And of coursse I know there is iojs version of node-gyp https://github.com/rvagg/node-gyp/
and that didn't work at all and rvagg knows this because I told him

[Fishrock123]

@alanpurple can you try using both the latest io.js and bson, using the node-gyp that comes with io.js? (not quite rvagg/node-gyp iirc)

(Also, please post an error log)

[alanpurple]

@Fishrock123 Yeah I moved the node-gyp folder in iojs program files folder to username\AppData\Roaming\npm\node-modules and I built bson.node and again I got this message

[Error: Module did not self-register.]
js-bson: Failed to load c++ bson extension, using pure JS version

@alanpurple Are you using iojs or node to start your script? You need to use the former on Windows at the moment because of the way the node alias is created on Windows.

[alanpurple]

@mscdex Thanks!!!!!!!! with iojs.exe the message is gone

and sorry for all this noise, I could'n find solution anywhere

[Fishrock123]

Related to #751 -- sorry I didn't point you there sooner.
