Document the native dependencies required to build Flocking on Node.js #209

Closed colinbdclark closed 5 years ago

colinbdclark commented 7 years ago

When building Flocking for Node.js, several platform libraries are required to successfully build Flocking's primary dependencies: node-speaker and node-midi. On Mac OS X and Windows, I believe these are available by default, but on Linux a user needs to install certain packages such as ALSA.

The documentation should provide a good overview of how to get the build toolchain working on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux, and which Linux packages are prerequisite.

Thanks to @the-t-in-rtf for reminding me that this documentation is sorely missing.

Flocking no longer supports Node.js directly, so I'm closing this issue.
