Npm install failing about node-bluetooth-obd HOT 6 CLOSED

This seems to be related with bluetooth-serial-port module. I will test this in +-12 hours when I have time, and if that is the case, I will forward the isse to that module and update mine as soon that one is fixed.

@sundar2323 Which version of node are you using? 0.11 or 0.12?

Edit:
It seems to build for me on windows 7 x64 - Node 0.12.
Do you have installed the pre-req?

Pre-requests on Linux

Needs Bluetooth development packages to build

apt-get install build-essential libbluetooth-dev

from node-bluetooth-obd.

Solved by install VS 2013 Community (as Window SDK 8+ version does not include MSBuild tools). tks.

@sundar2323 Do you still have this problem?

Can you have a look?

from node-bluetooth-obd.

This is due to requirements of https://github.com/eelcocramer/node-bluetooth-serial-port and/or it dependancies.

I think you need install The Windows SDK version 8.1 and/or visual studio for MSBuild.

from node-bluetooth-obd.

So I am assuming this does not work on a pi?
