simple/test-child-process-stdout-flush-exit.js fails with an assertion. The root cause for this assertion is that the expected boolean value of true for the variable gotBye was false. This is set to true when the piped stdout stream of the child writes the end token "goodbye". So the error message would indicate that the end token was never received by the parent, but in fact it did. The only difference is that the first chunk itself had both 'hello' and 'goodbye' (as well as the filler words in between) in AIX, while Linux receives them separately. While this issue is not reproducible in Linux, the number of bytes received each time a callback is called is not consistent across runs, which is ratified as the actual content size of a UNIX domain data packet is determined outside of the node's logic, instead in OS tunables, as well as the runtime context of data transfer (depending on contigeous free memory available in OS data structures at the time of sending). In addition, around 200 filler words sent in between the 'hello' and 'goodbye' seem to indicate that the coalescence of chunks was a possibility in Linux as well, and was devised to separate the first word from the last, through an arbitrary delimiter. Parser logic seem to be rigid and have assumptions about the order and size of the data arrival. For example, it checks for 'goodbye' only when it does not find 'hello' in it, as if they would always come separately. This exclusiveness is what makes the test to fail in AIX.

Evented I/O for V8 javascript.
To build:
Prerequisites (Unix only):
* GCC 4.2 or newer
* G++ 4.2 or newer
* Python 2.6 or 2.7
* GNU Make 3.81 or newer
* libexecinfo (FreeBSD and OpenBSD only)
Unix/Macintosh:
./configure
make
make install
If your python binary is in a non-standard location or has a non-standard name, run the following instead:
export PYTHON=/path/to/python
$PYTHON ./configure
make
make install
Prerequisites (Windows only):
* Python 2.6 or 2.7
* Visual Studio 2010 or 2012
Windows:
vcbuild nosign
You can download pre-built binaries for various operating systems from http://nodejs.org/download/. The Windows and OS X installers will prompt you for the location in which to install. The tarballs are self-contained; you can extract them to a local directory with:
tar xzf /path/to/node-<version>-<platform>-<arch>.tar.gz
Or system-wide with:
cd /usr/local && tar --strip-components 1 -xzf \
/path/to/node-<version>-<platform>-<arch>.tar.gz
To run the tests:
Unix/Macintosh:
make test
Windows:
vcbuild test
To build the documentation:
make doc
To read the documentation:
man doc/node.1
Intl (ECMA-402) support:
Intl support is not enabled by default.
"small" (English only) support
This option will build with "small" (English only) support, but
the full Intl (ECMA-402) APIs. With --download=all it will
download the ICU library as needed.
Unix/Macintosh:
./configure --with-intl=small-icu --download=all
Windows:
vcbuild small-icu download-all
The small-icu mode builds
with English-only data. You can add full data at runtime.
Note: more docs are on the wiki.
Build with full ICU support (all locales supported by ICU):
With the --download=all, this may download ICU if you don't
have an ICU in deps/icu.
Unix/Macintosh:
./configure --with-intl=full-icu --download=all
Windows:
vcbuild full-icu download-all
Build with no Intl support :-(
The Intl object will not be available.
This is the default at present, so this option is not normally needed.
Unix/Macintosh:
./configure --with-intl=none
Windows:
vcbuild intl-none
Use existing installed ICU (Unix/Macintosh only):
pkg-config --modversion icu-i18n && ./configure --with-intl=system-icu
Build with a specific ICU:
You can find other ICU releases at
the ICU homepage.
Download the file named something like icu4c-**##.#**-src.tgz (or
.zip).
Unix/Macintosh: from an already-unpacked ICU
./configure --with-intl=[small-icu,full-icu] --with-icu-source=/path/to/icu
Unix/Macintosh: from a local ICU tarball
./configure --with-intl=[small-icu,full-icu] --with-icu-source=/path/to/icu.tgz
Unix/Macintosh: from a tarball URL
./configure --with-intl=full-icu --with-icu-source=http://url/to/icu.tgz
Windows: first unpack latest ICU to deps/icu
icu4c-##.#-src.tgz (or .zip)
as deps/icu (You'll have: deps/icu/source/...)
vcbuild full-icu
