Can't install wiring pi

[CopZabov]

I tried to install wiring-pi, i used every kind of procedure, but the result is always this. Can someone help me?
npm install wiring-pi

[email protected] install /home/pi/.node-red/node_modules/wiring-pi
/bin/bash ./install.sh

Cloning libWiringPi ... failed.

I don't think this software is maintained anymore. Last release was over 2 years ago.

[robeeeert]

Do you have git installed on your RPi?

[michaeljanich]

Does anyone know of an excellent new wiringpi node package, that supports node10+?

[jhoughjr]

dunno. I've spent all afternoon reading tons of useless docs, only to end up here. Seems wiring pi doesn't care about node since all the repos are 4 years old. Let me know if you find something that works. I'm just going to call my c program from node I guess.

[Uweklaus]

same error msg here, while installing on my pizero with the newest node-red and node Versions.

[Uweklaus]

installing according to wiring-pi page description works fine.
They are saying do not install wiring pi from here.

[jhoughjr]

I may have borked my install. I switched to another pi and just ran install and rebuild and it worked fine. One difference is I used the rasping stretch full image in the latter.

The problem here is that V8 has removed ForceSet method in the V8 version that Node 10 uses.
Solution is to install older version of nodejs. Easiest is to use NodeVersionManager nvm.
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.8/install.sh | bash
source ~/.bashrc
nvm install 8
npm install npm@latest -g

then you can do

npm remove wiring-pi
npm install wiring-pi

@viktorbk still won't work at the latest 8.series node..
anyway, now switched to 8.2.0 and testing it out, hopeless though

[Fahad-pnw]

okay seems to have worked with 8.2.0
with a lots of warnings..but i guess it has installed successfully and would probably work.

I solved this problem with
git clone https://github.com/WiringPi/WiringPi-Node
cd WiringPi-Node
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

my OS Raspbian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch), with Raspberry 3B+

Okay, I looked though the v8 docs on how to fix this. Downgrading is not an option for me as the other packages I'm using require node 9 or even node 10 or higher.

I'm going to try to create a pull request replacing all instances of ForceSet with DefineOwnProperty. As far as I can tell the only difference is it requires a v8 context as the first argument.

[Pecacheu]

Well, I solved the ForceSet errors:

//In addon.h, replaced:
target->ForceSet(v8::String::NewFromUtf8(isolate, #name, v8::String::kInternalizedString), arr, static_cast<v8::PropertyAttribute>(v8::ReadOnly | v8::DontDelete));
//With:
target->DefineOwnProperty(target->CreationContext(), v8::String::NewFromUtf8(isolate, #name, v8::String::kInternalizedString), arr, static_cast<v8::PropertyAttribute>(v8::ReadOnly | v8::DontDelete));

However I still get many mystery errors I can't solve. I cut out all the cascading warnings and errors caused by these three. The first I'm completely confused by. target doesn't appear to be in wpi.cc at first, but upon following the macro to addon.h, target is declared right here as a function parameter upon expansion:

#define NODE_MODULE_INIT() \
namespace nodemodule { \
  void init(v8::Handle<v8::Object> target); \
} \
void nodemodule::init(v8::Handle<v8::Object> target)
// { Other Stuff }
#define INIT(name) nodemodule::init##name(isolate, target);

And NODE_MODULE_INIT gets expanded here in wpi.cc:

NODE_MODULE_INIT() {
  #if NODE_VERSION_AT_LEAST(0, 11, 0)
    v8::Isolate* isolate = v8::Isolate::GetCurrent();
  #endif
  INIT(wiringPi);
  INIT(softPwm);
  INIT(softServo);
  INIT(softTone);
  INIT(wiringPiI2C);
  INIT(wiringPiSPI);
  INIT(wiringSerial);
  INIT(wiringShift);
  INIT(wiringPiISR);
  
  INIT(extensions);
  INIT(devlib);
}

NODE_MODULE_DECLARE(wiringPi);

Yeah, confusing, I know. This is why I hate excessive use of compiler macros. But regardless, that C code should work fine, so no clue where the error's coming from. Here are the errors:
