nodegui-starter example failure to install #145

Closed tomwbarclay closed 4 years ago

tomwbarclay commented 4 years ago

command 'npm install' fails when it cant find pre-built Windows file ... see below.

prebuild-install GET https://github.com/nodegui/nodegui/releases/download/v0.24.0/nodegui-v0.24.0-napi-v3-win32-x64.tar.gz prebuild-install WARN install No prebuilt binaries found (target=3 runtime=napi arch=x64 libc= platform=win32)

when script executes

prebuild-install --backend=cmake-js --runtime=napi --verbose.

Looked at GitHub and 'releases' folder non existant.

Presumably on Linux the install script compiles the required binaries from raw.

Am I better of using Linux ?

This one is just a warning actually. If it cant detect the prebuilt files it will continue to do the actual build.

You should have the actual log in the end

Problem was red herring ... script continued past that error, it was just the first error in the execution order so I thought it was significant.

Installed VisualStudio2019 community editionm and re-run the install. The script still fails at same point but when it continues it now builds from the cpp files for the QT wrappers etc. At end a 'npm audit fix' command sorts last issues.

Execute the example with'npm start' and the example runs OK. ... Thanks
