Simply place this into the root of your nodejs git working copy and
run ./tools/osx-dist.sh. It will create an dist-osx folder which will
comprise of the resulting .dmg file (install path is
/usr/local/nodejs with symlinks added to /usr/local/bin) along with
other files used during its construction.
$ ls -1 dist-osx/
nodejs-v0.1.26-11-gcd6397c
nodejs-v0.1.26-11-gcd6397c.dmg
nodejs-v0.1.26-11-gcd6397c.pkg
nodejs-v0.1.26-11-gcd6397c.plist
The resulting installed package is going to be visible using the
OS X 'pkgutil --packages' command. You can even safely uninstall
sudoing 'pkgutil --unlink org.nodejs.NodeJS-...' and subsequently
let the system forget about the package being ever seen by
'pkgutil --forget org.nodejs.NodeJS-...'.
Here is the current package ID I have installed:
$ pkgutil --pkgs | grep node
org.nodejs.NodeJS-v0.1.26-11-gcd6397c

It seems that the current __filename module global is mainly used to
determine the directory the current module is in. To make that
easier, this patch adds support for a __dirname module global
directly.
A promise will throw an exception unless an error handler is attached in the
same "tick" that the error is emitted. This is to avoid silent promise
failures.
Why? Because I have two versions of GnuTLS installed - one is old 2.0.X in
/usr and one is new 2.5.X in ~/local/gnutls. waf correctly finds that the
newer version, but because GNUTLS was behind other libraries in the
node.uselib -L/usr/lib was before -L/home/ryan/local/gnutls/lib in the
actual gcc command - hence getting link errors. WAF SUCKS, really.
I wish someone would invent a good build system that could avoid such
problems.
