how to build for firmware 4.9 and wiringpi 2.4.4?

[ylh888]

When I built wiringpi from scratch, I get version 2.4.4. gpio -v yields:

gpio version: 2.44

  * Device tree is enabled.
  *--> Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Rev 1.1
  * This Raspberry Pi supports user-level GPIO access.

When I use "npm install" to get the node bindings, the install script rebuilds wiringpi using 2.25

gpio version: 2.25

Unable to determine hardware version. I see: Hardware	: BCM2835
,
 - expecting BCM2708 or BCM2709.

This does not seem to be compatible with the firmware because "sudo node blink.js" yields:

sudo node blink.js
Unable to determine hardware version. I see: Hardware	: BCM2835
,

Is it possible to use the latest wiringpi libraries with the node bindings?

Having the same problem...will this problem get solved or not?

[ylh888]

take a look at a solution from this issue: #70

thanks for the link to #70 however that's not a valid "fix"

I'm also having this issue. Was working fine until dist-upgrade and everything went to shit

I'm having similar issue when trying to run wiring-pi in a Resin container:

As @ylh888 recommended in #70 - following solution worked for me:

Hi Ross,
I have had success replacing the "wiring-pi" library with the "wiringpi-node" library - just had to npm install and change the require statement in my code - worked on the new kernel without further modifications.
See https://www.npmjs.com/package/wiringpi-node

Hope this helps,

George
