If you're having trouble building node.js on OSX (Snow Leopard seems to be problematic here) with an error like this: | |

The error seems to be a problem with compiling V8 (http://code.google.com/p/v8/) | |
If you grab V8 from Google code: http://code.google.com/p/v8/wiki/Source?tm=4 | |
You can try building it: | |
""" | |
svn checkout http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ v8 | |
cd v8 | |
scons | |
""" | |
This might also break with an error similar to: | |
""" | |
*** [obj/release/accessors.o] Error 127 | |
""" | |
There is an outstanding bug on the V8 issue board: http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=631#c6 that is very similar to the errors I've seen and the arch of my system. | |
After I ran sudo scons on the checked out v8 code, it succesfully installed, and node.js did as well, yay! |
