Electron build fails (Pre-built binaries not found) #84

denniskawurek commented 5 years ago

When trying to build an electron application which uses the canvas module the step

  • rebuilding native production dependencies platform=win32 arch=x64

fails with the following message:

node-pre-gyp WARN Tried to download(404): https://github.com/node-gfx/node-canvas-prebuilt/releases/download/v2.6.0/canvas-v2.6.0-electron-v3.0-win32-unknown-x64.tar.gz 
node-pre-gyp WARN Pre-built binaries not found for canvas@2.6.0 and electron@3.0.11 (electron-v3.0 ABI, unknown) (falling back to source compile with node-gyp)

When updating to the current Electron version it also fails. It seems that the package is missing.

This seems to be affecting the entire package, not just anything related to Electron, FWIW.

I am currently facing the same problem with a raspberry pi - error 404 as the URL in the installation process is wrong. In my case it has "arm" in the URL, which simply doesn't exsist...

So I found out that a solution may be to build the packages by self from the sources? But this also failes on my system.

Sorry everyone, I targeted the most popular architectures and OSes. You can see which combinations are currently supported by going to a version like v2.6.0. I may do ARM at some point but have no plans for Electron, happy to take a PR though.

@erwstout which versions/processor/OS?

@florianze see #9

@denniskawurek Electron is not supported for prebuilds, you'll have to follow the instructions in the node-canvas repo to make sure it can build
