Adding the package results in an error. No compatible binary build found for this package

[novamul]

Hey! Really excited that stream now has a meteor package as well.

I can't add the package though. Whenever I try to I get this message:

While checking for getstream:bin-deps@0.1.1:
error: No compatible binary build found for this package. Contact the package author and ask them to publish it for your platform.

Hope someone can help out :)

Hi @novamul what platform (linux?) are you trying to install stream-meteor on?

[novamul]

HI. I'm on Windows.

[matthisk]

@novamul ok i investigated and it seems the binary dependencies aren't build correctly on the Windows platform. I will need some more time to find out if there is a solution to this problem.

[novamul]

Ok, too bad. Thanks for your quick responses and effort. I hope it can be fixed.

Hi @matthisk. This is currently a blocking issue for us. Is there anything we can do to help? I searched around but cannot find the source code of getstream:bin-deps.

[matthisk]

@lewtds try running meteor publish-for-arch getstream:bin-deps@0.1.1 on a Windows machine, I have tried this but it results in an error message. Unfortunately I haven't gotten around to debugging this error message. The gestream:bin-deps project is currently not on github I will try to create a repo for it so we can fix this issue.

Looks like node-fibers failed to build because most Windows machines don't come with VC++ and Python (and somehow the prebuilt binary is not used). Do we really need that package? I thought Meteor is already running on fibers?

[lewtds]

We managed to remove the bin-deps dependency and make it work by just Npm.require-ing fibers/future and getstream directly from this package (Meteor comes bundled with fibers already). Will try to upstream the changes ASAP.

[matthisk]

That wouldn't change the issue though would it? You still need to build the 'fibers' npm package for all target machines (i.e. linux/osx/windows). You can not use the fibers bundled with Meteor as far as I know? If you want to use fibers/futures you have to retrieve them from npm. I separated the npm dependencies into a different meteor package to avoid having to rebuild for every target architecture when I update stream-meteor. I will retry to build getstream-bin-deps for windows with build tools installed.

Hi @matthisk I just bumped into this problem when I was porting an app to Meteor Galaxy hosting ( running Ubuntu 14.04). Don't suppose you've had the chance to look more into it? I'm getting a slightly different error when I build:

=> Errors while initializing project:

While checking for getstream:stream-meteor@0.4.2:
error: No compatible binary build found for this package. Contact the package
author and ask them to publish it for your platform.

Thanks!

Hi @kantle and @matthisk - I've encountered this one myself.

Take a look at this:

http://docs.meteor.com/#/full/meteorpublishforarch

Meteor packages must be published for each platform you want to run them on:

"Currently, the supported architectures for Meteor are 32-bit Linux, 64-bit Linux and Mac OS. Galaxy's servers run 64-bit Linux."

Hi @ErikAugust - that's interesting. I've been running the app successfully on Digital Ocean, which is also running Ubuntu 14.04 x64. Shouldn't the package also fail on DO if it didn't support 64 bit?

[matthisk]

Hi guys maybe I did something wrong on the latest release (you have to do "publish for arch" for every release), I will make sure it is published for all architectures.
