cross build multi-platform addons on a single system

NAPI-RS is aiming to provide a complete solution for building Node.js native addons, especially for enterprise users.

For the open-source projects on GitHub, NAPI-RS provided out-of-box CI/CD support for building and publishing prebuilt binaries for Windows, Linux macOS and FreeBSD with NAPI-RS v2. There are also many users who are using self-hosted CI and want to build native addons for multiple platforms on a single system (mostly Linux). NAPI-RS v2 provides a solution for this use case.

This project is a demo for those users who want to build multi-platform addons on a single system. The CI of this project builds NAPI-RS packages on a GitHub Linux CI, and produces addons for the following platform:

• Windows x64
• Windows x86
• Windows arm64
• macOS x64
• macOS arm64
• Linux x64 gnu (glibc 2.17)
• Linux x64 musl
• Linux arm64 gnu (glibc 2.17)
• Linux arm64 musl
• Linux armv7 gnueabihf
• Android arm64
• Android armv7

If you are building NAPI-RS packages with self-hosted Linux CI, you should install the following toolchain to build the addons for the above platforms:

• Rust toolchain, including Cargo, rustup and your target rust std. eg: rustup target add aarch64-apple-darwin.
• llvm. The latest qualification version is recommended.
• cargo-xwin if you want to build for Windows on the non Windows system. cargo install cargo-xwin.
