Arch Linux

You should install the nodejs10 package instead of nodejs. So you should change depends = ('nodejs' 'webkitgtk2') -> depends = ('nodejs10' 'webkitgtk2')

When building the nodejs10 package I had to force the removal of the .git folder. The modification should be something like:
rm -r "$srcdir/npm/.git" -> rm -rf "$srcdir/npm/.git"
in the prepare() section of the nodejs10 package.

hello
I have this error

Aborting...

I added support for i686, node-mapnik will be build from sources for this architecture.

Now I adopted and updated the package.

Currently i686 is not supported, because node-mapnik is not provided in binary form, and fails to build from sources:
https://github.com/mapnik/node-mapnik/issues/357

Well - i finally managed to install the package. I needed to run:
export PYTHON=python2
before installing.

Can it be added to the package somehow?

Broken. See the previous comments for the fix. Therefore flagged out-of-date to alert the maintainer.

I confirm that adding python option fixes the build.

It fails to build for me:
npm ERR! Failed at the contextify@0.1.9 install script.

Also, python2 should probably be added to the dependencies as it's a hard dependency for node-gyp but only an optional dependency for nodejs (which contains node-gyp).

The npm install command needs '--python=/usr/bin/python2' added for node-gyp to find python2 correctly.

I temporarily adopted the package to update the PKGBUILD.

Changes:

- Added tilemill conflict
- Added patch to fix issue mentioned by uniphil

Pkgrel updated to 2.

This conflicts with "tilemill", please add that.

This recent commit to tilemill: https://github.com/mapbox/tilemill/commit/1434317d3fcd92c836ae0e1140e36c66e69040b9#commitcomment-6112058 breaks this package. It has tilemill try to install npm, which will already be owned by `nodejs` according to pacman, who will spit out tons of `File Exists` errors.

Simply removing that line made it work for me. Until this is fixed: My fork is at 'git+https://github.com/uniphil/tilemill.git', which you can replace the first `source` in the PKGBUILD with to make it go. Can't promise I'll keep it up to date though.

I've tried to install, the install works fine but it doesn't works properly. This error on start-up :
[tilemill] Mapnik LOG> 2014-03-11 19:14:53: Problem loading plugin library: /usr/lib/node_modules/tilemill/node_modules/mapnik/lib/binding/mapnik/input/osm.input (dlopen failed - plugin likely has an unsatisfied dependency or incompatible ABI)
And no fonts recognized.

Please add tilemill as a conflict

You should probably add nodejs-node-gyp as a new depend. node-waf has recently been replaced by node-gyp.

Needs boost to compile (boost-libs not sufficient).

atrawog: It's not only a makedep, tilemill needs it at runtime. Thank you for noticing :)

Recent Tilemill GIT version need protobuf to compile.

@Athemis: thank you for noticing. i can confirm this dependency - updated!

Needs webkitgtk2 to compile.
