use pangyp instead

[ironspecs]

Using deasync on iojs currently fails because node-gyp has issue: nodejs/node-gyp#564

It's taking a long time for this issue to be fixed, so here is a branch that uses pangyp instead, so that iojs can also have deasync.

Also: actually prints any errors that occur, because otherwise they were being eaten, and it was very difficult to debug.

wonky spacing.

[nelsonpecora]

pretty simple. 👍

[dmabuada]

+1..but fix spacing. my 👀 , poor 👀

[ironspecs]

Not my spacing! I'm doing what's there. : )

[dmabuada]

shouldn't we fix what's there? haha.

or not. womp, womp.

Have installed deasync successfully on several iojs platforms. See issue #13. Can you describe a case where your error is reproducible?

[ironspecs]

Sure, every time on CircleCI with iojs versions iojs-v1.2.0 and iojs-v1.3.0. Those are the versions supported on CircleCI by default: https://circleci.com/docs/environment#nodejs

The error produced is:

If you want, I could create a CircleCI circle.yml for this project so we could test this library on different versions.

[abbr]

Thanks. I can reproduce your problem on circleci. But it's easy to specify a newer version of io.js (the one I verified working is 1.6) in your circle.yml. So I don't see the need to switch to pangyp, which I am not familiar enough to know all the catches.

[nelsonpecora]

Hmm, I'm getting the same issue locally as @TakenPilot was getting on CircleCI.

iojs version 2.0.2 (installed w/ nvm)
npm version 2.10.1
osx version 10.10.3

[abbr]

Installed successfully on iojs@2.0.2, osx@10.8.5 via nvm.

[iamsebastian]

I also can not compile with node-gyp.
My local setyp:

Ubuntu@14.04 LTS
Linux 3.16.0-43-generic x86_64
iojs@2.3.4
npm@2.13.0
node-gyp@2.0.2
python@2.7.6

Installation with pangyp@2.2.1, like the above pull request described, runs fine.
So why not merge this pull request -- just, if all other platforms work well with pangyp used?
