Error: no suport windows 8

[gladson]

File "C:\Users\Gladson\Desktop\Teste\env_nodeenv\lib\site-packages\nodeenv.py", line 299, in callit % (cmd_desc, proc.returncode)) OSError: Command curl --silent -L http://nodejs.org/dist/node-v-RC1.tar.gz | tar xzf - -C "'C:\Users\Gladson\De...este\env_node\src'" failed with error code 255

Have to install all dependencies:
https://github.com/ekalinin/nodeenv#dependency

It would be better if there were not so many dependencies.

As I'm not very good, even in coding in Python, I think this would be the way:

To dependence:

curl
http://stackoverflow.com/a/22721/3191497
http://docs.python.org/2/library/urllib2.html#examples

egrep
http://docs.python.org/2/library/re.html
http://docs.python.org/2/library/re.html#examples

sort
http://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#sorted
http://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/list_sort.htm

tail
https://gist.github.com/amitsaha/5990310

tar
http://docs.python.org/2/library/tarfile.html#module-tarfile
http://docs.python.org/2/library/tarfile.html#examples

I do not know if this list is correct with the list of dependencies, it may be that some are not compatible with the functionality of the project.
But I think this is the way.
What do you think, @ekalinin?

[ekalinin]

It's a good idea, but I have no windows-like system near me.
But patches are welcome.

👍
Thanks man.

It's failing because curl --silent -L http://nodejs.org/dist/node-v-RC1.tar.gz returns a 404.

I'm going to poke at this today (trying to get better windows support in pre-commit/pre-commit#159). I think eliminating a few of the requirements is pretty straightforward.

[ekalinin]

👍

Some notes for now:

The configuration I'm targeting is Git Shell (provided by github tools), though I should be able to get it working with less than that probably.

• Don't require sort or egrep #114 eliminates requirements for egrep and sort
• curl (at least in my configuration) has different options than unix. Should be easy enough to replace with the urllib equivalent however and eliminate that binary dependency.
• tar (at least in my configuration) seems identical to POSIX tar
• The node binaries are packaged differently for windows (ugh)
  • For nodejs.org they are at /dist/{version}/node.exe for x86 and /dist/{version}/x64/node.exe for x86_64
  • For iojs.org they are at /dist/{version}/win-x86 and /dist/{version}/win-x64

I believe this now can be moved to #140, because error message have changed since then, and some progress was made on --prebuilt binaries.

[ekalinin]

Will be fixed in #140
