it started working with 6.0.12 electron so don't know what is going on. It still gives error for Electron 7 beta but that is OK as it is still not released so possible some changes required for Electron 7.x

[mjurkowski]

Electron 7 has been released

[pashvin]

Yes I just noticed that in electron website and tried with latest electron 7 and spell checker rebuild fails with the same error. Do we need fix in spell checker?

[pashvin]

By the way it fails on both (Windows and mac).

[quanglam2807]

It fails on Linux, too. electron-builder install-app-deps passes through without reporting any problem, but ./build/Release/spellchecker.node is not generated.

Here is the source code of main.cc: https://github.com/felixrieseberg/node-spellchecker/blob/master/src/main.cc

[quanglam2807]

Actually, there's a PR to fix it: https://github.com/atom/node-spellchecker/pull/128

Updated: I applied the PR and it worked.

[pashvin]

Thanks. Hope to get a new build with this PR early next week.

I created a PR at @felixrieseberg native library but I don't know whether this library is still active maintained. We're currently using the patch with Electron 7 without any problems.

[quanglam2807]

@fxha Awesome. Also your patch looks much simpler than the one I’m using. Would you mind checking it there are any differences as I’m not very familiar with C++: https://github.com/quanglam2807/webcatalog/pull/344/files

[pashvin]

Is it possible to get new build with patch?

[pashvin]

latest version works now so closing this issue.
