load DLL fails in electron

[webbery]

I install nanomsg by command npm install nanomsg in windows with vs2015. It builds a static library name nanomsg.lib. When I start electron, I meet an error looks like this:

A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.
\\?\E:\workspace\logViewer\node_modules\nanomsg\build\Release\node_nanomsg.node

    at Object.<anonymous> (E:\workspace\logViewer\node_modules\nanomsg\lib\index.js:1:195)

My electron version is 2.0.6. Because I can't google more info about that, so I don't know how to solve this problem. Any one help?

i've had to change node's ABI version to match electron's since it plays around on a different 1

in order to get it to compile.

however, your error looks different than ABI mismatch. Let me investigate and get back on this.

It builds a static library name nanomsg.lib

at process.module.(anonymous function) [as dlopen] (ELECTRON_ASAR.js:172:20)

dlopen is for opening dynamic libraries, not static libraries. I think you need to create a .dll of this module, not a .lib file.

[webbery]

Yes, I see there is a static lib. But after I build a .dll with vs2015, the same error still appear.

@webbery what version of node are you using?

[reqshark]

probably doesnt matter what version of node you're on,

let's try to trick npm's compiler into believing its building node bindings under a different ABI, just to get the binding's dl library to match the ABI version of electron's bindings.

can you try doing this command after you've got electron v2.0.7 and did npm install nanomsg:

npm rebuild --runtime=electron --target=2.0.7 --disturl=https://atom.io/download/atom-shell --abi=59

electron v2.0.7 should be happy with --abi=59 when the runtime is electron and that dist url

@reqshark Thanks for your help. It works.
