Lack of good Linux and Windows support when used with Node.js

[victorb]

There is a known issue on Ubuntu machine with node-webrtc, issue here: node-webrtc/node-webrtc#281

Solution currently seems to be building node-webrtc from source, which takes long time and also lots of space. Currently trying out if it helps, will report back.

So, spent around one hour building node-webrtc from source (and about 18gbs...) and ended up getting a segfault instead of the x11 display issue.

Edit: Replacing node_modules/wrtc/build/wrtc/v0.0.61/Release/node-v48-linux-x64/wrtc.node with the artifact from node-webrtc did fix the issue though node-webrtc/build/Release/wrtc.node. Running the binary directly was why I got the seg fault

@victorbjelkholm could you convert this to documentation, please?

[daviddias]

ping @victorbjelkholm.

Could you handle this?

[victorb]

Tried this again with the following versions:

{ 'libp2p-webrtc-star': '0.13.2',
  npm: '5.3.0',
  ares: '1.10.1-DEV',
  http_parser: '2.7.0',
  icu: '57.1',
  modules: '48',
  node: '6.9.0',
  openssl: '1.0.2j',
  uv: '1.9.1',
  v8: '5.1.281.84',
  zlib: '1.2.8' }

On Ubuntu 16.10 and everything now works fine. Seems like since version 0.0.62 of wrtc, they publish binaries for Ubuntu that works fine!

[daviddias]

no seg faults?

[victorb]

@diasdavid nope, nada. Seems to be working fine now.
