Fellow Udooers, This is a follow up on a Node.js issue (see below) on our Udoos in Udoobuntu 1.1. I received an update on the joyent/node github forum (https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/7655#issuecomment-73444703) from one of the developers of io.js. As it turns out, IO.js is a fork of node from a group of core members of node.js that were unsatisfied with the development of node. From their https://iojs.org/en/faq.html: "io.js aims to provide faster and predictable release cycles. It currently merges in the latest language, API and performance improvements to V8 while also updating libuv and other base libraries. This project aims to continue development of io.js under an "open governance model" as opposed to corporate stewardship." I can happily confirm that I've been able to build it on my Udoo Quad running Udoobuntu 1.1 and, more importantly, it runs!!!!! A small caveat: I had to install gcc and g++ 4.8 to be able to compile on Udoobuntu 1.1. See this link for instructions: http://mortenvp.com/installing-a-newer-gccg-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts/ Well I hope that the herd of frustrated node.js Udooers get a little bit of happiness.
I was really psyched to hear first about io.js but also that it would run on UDOO! I tried following the instructions on http://mortenvp.com/installing-a-newer- ... 12-04-lts/ and after installing NVM, io.js appeared to install correctly via this command- nvm install iojs-v1.4.2 Code: --2015-03-01 10:24:13-- https://iojs.org/dist/v1.4.2/iojs-v1.4.2-linux-armv7l.tar.gz Resolving iojs.org (iojs.org)... 104.236.136.193 Connecting to iojs.org (iojs.org)|104.236.136.193|:443... connected.
