Packages
Packages are avalible here: http://gustavemichel.com/OSCPDSPackages/.

• Windows
• Mac
• Linux32 (NLinux32 Contains Missing libudev.so.0 Fix)
• Linux64 (NLinux64 Contains Missing libudev.so.0 Fix)
• .NW Package (All Platforms, Requires you install Node-Webkit 0.8.6)

Compile from Source

Compiling from source can be found in the node-webkit documentation. You still have to run npm install in the cloned git repository before packaging. Otherwise, DriverStation.js will be unresponsive because of JavaScript crashing from dependency errors.

$ npm install

After installing the required dependencies, additional actions will need to be taken to obtain a functional application.

Compiling node-gamepad

Due to node-gamepad using native files and the use of node-webkit instead of node, the pre-installed native may not work, below is the process for compiling the native from the Application Directory.

$ npm install -g node-gyp nw-gyp node-pre-gyp # May require Sudo
$ cd node_modules/gamepad/
$ node-pre-gyp build --runtime=node-webkit --target=0.8.6

The Additional Platform Specific dependencies for compiling node natives can be found on the node-gyp github repo README.

Linux

If your system's Python 2.7 executable isn't just called python you can use the --python=<executable name> flag.

Windows

This process was rather difficult, taking nearly 2 weeks to resolve issues, below is a step by step of what I did to complete this task (in additon to the above general instructions).
Note: I started with a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

• Install Python 2.7.3
• Install Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2010
• Install Windows 7 64-bit SDK
• Install compiler update for the Windows SDK 7.1
• Install Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2012
• Run Windows Update until Service Pack I installs (Windows 7 Only)
• Install: Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2013
• Compile Using the --msvs_version=2013 flag. (the --target_arch=ia32 flag is also required if running a 64-bit version)

Running Unpackaged

Run in the Application Directory.

$ ./node_modules/nodewebkit/nodewebkit/nw ./

Repairing Missing libudev.so.0

Since node-webkit is installed in node_modules, the sed commq and can be used fairly easily to correct this issue. I assume you are starting at the Application Directory.

$ cd node_modules/nodewebkit/nodewebkit/
$ sed -i 's/udev\.so\.0/udev.so.1/g' nw
