Building contextify under Windows 7 x64 (for NodeJS jQuery)

问题

I try to get node-jquery working. contextify is one of the dependencies (required for jsdom).

contextify needs to be built somehow using Python. But this does not seem to work on Windows 7 x64. At least one my computer :)

After some readings (#10, #12, #17) and trying some binaries provided by this fork and this one I can get it work ...

I've got the same error from node-gyp configure or from node-gyp rebuild (npm install jquery) :

info it worked if it ends with ok

It seems there is a syntax error ... I am not very comfortable with Python.

Here are my versions :

Python: 3.2.3
NodeJS: 0.6.14

Anyone have an idea?

Thanks!

I managed to build it, but I can say it was really painful. In fact it was so painful that it caused temporary amnesia and I forgot how I did it.

You need Visual Studio as well, apart from python.

Anyway, I have the binaries, I just uploaded them to gihub:
https://github.com/mihaifm/jsdom_binaries

Just clone that repo, copy what's inside node_modules to your project, and you're good to go!

Update (march 2013)

These binaries are no longer needed (at least not for Win7, with VS2010 installed). jsdom and contextify can now be installed just with npm:

npm install jsdom
npm install contextify

(you still need python and a MS C++ compiler, as mentioned in the requirements for node-gyp)

I updated the repo as well, just in case anyone still has trouble installing.

I was able to successfully build node-jquery on Windows 7(x64) with node 0.8.11(x64), and Python 2.7.3. Here's what my jquery structure looks like:

┬ jquery@1.7.3
├── htmlparser@1.7.6
├─┬ jsdom@0.2.19
│ ├─┬ contextify@0.1.3
│ │ └── bindings@1.0.0
│ ├── cssom@0.2.5
│ ├── cssstyle@0.2.3
│ └─┬ request@2.11.4
│   ├─┬ form-data@0.0.4
│   │ ├── async@0.1.22
│   │ └─┬ combined-stream@0.0.3
│   │   └── delayed-stream@0.0.5
│   └── mime@1.2.7
├── location@0.0.1
├── navigator@1.0.1
└── xmlhttprequest@1.4.2

according to the author of node-gyp https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp/issues/155

Ya, Python 3 and Python 2 are not compatible, however gyp requires Python 2.

If you don't need the full feature-set of Contextify, Cheerio is much faster and much easier to install on Windows, and provides most of the jQuery functions you would use server-side.

I built it using

Windows 8 x64 DP
Python 2.7 (on PATH)
Node 0.8.11 x86 (on PATH)
Visual Studio 2010 (requires installed 'Visual C++' feature)

contextify 0.1.3 binaries (probably only working with the 32-bit Node version) can be found at my GitHub repo. They work together with jsdom 0.2.18 (current version as of 2012-10-13).

回答5:

From the jsdom readme.md:

Windows

A recent copy of the x86 version of [Node.js for Windows], not the x64 version.
A copy of Visual C++ 2010 Express.
A copy of [Python 2.7], installed in the default location of C:\Python27.

I did exactly this and it worked fine, except that for me the x64 version worked as well.

回答6:

The easiest way is to install the windows-build-tools package. That has everything you need to build contextify. Run the command from an power shell prompt running with administrator rights.

npm install --global --production windows-build-tools

https://www.npmjs.com/package/windows-build-tools

These tools are required to compile popular native modules. It will also install Python 2.7, configuring your machine and npm appropriately.

回答7:

I had to make sure I was using Python 2.7.3 and running the cmd line as administrator (right click run as administrator).

> python --version

I built it using

Windows 7 x64
Python 2.7.3
Node 0.8.17
Visual Studio 10
