vltreude, Yikes! I'm sorry this was your first experience with node. Creating a native add-on is one of the trickier things to do in node as it requires knowledge of Google's GYP make system, v8's C++ bindings to javascript and node's libuv C library (as well as C/C++ of course). It is actually rare to need to write native modules in node, since node has powerful built-in support for TCP, named pipes, binary buffers, etc.
There are some details on building native add-ons here: http://nodejs.org/api/addons.html, but I would strongly encourage you to try the https://npmjs.org/package/node-firebird module instead (github repo: https://github.com/hgourvest/node-firebird). You should be able to install it easily by typing the command "npm install node-firebird" in your project folder and you should be able to access it via 'var fb = require("node-firebird");' I haven't used it myself, but it looks like it is recently maintained (the last commit is 19 days ago) and it is written in pure javascript, which means there shouldn't be any compiling or binding.gyp issues. -- peter -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
