About me

Hello! I'm just a developer :)

Issue

I'm trying to build a simple controller for my ATEM. On a dev computer it looks like it works, but when I build it and deployed to a server. When I run my script it can see this in the output:

Error: Failed to find binding for freetype2 Tried paths:

  • /home/www/dv2/services/services-test/build/Debug/freetype2.node
  • /home/www/dv2/services/services-test/build/Release/freetype2.node
  • /home/www/dv2/services/services-test/prebuilds/freetype2-linux-x64/node-napi-v7.node at p (/home/www/dv2/services/services-test/main.js:2:261957) at h (/home/www/dv2/services/services-test/main.js:2:262060) at Object.4387 (/home/www/dv2/services/services-test/main.js:2:1974) at webpack_require (/home/www/dv2/services/services-test/main.js:2:353533) at Object.3278 (/home/www/dv2/services/services-test/main.js:2:229023) at webpack_require (/home/www/dv2/services/services-test/main.js:2:353533) at Object.6146 (/home/www/dv2/services/services-test/main.js:2:2278) at webpack_require (/home/www/dv2/services/services-test/main.js:2:353533) at Object.9765 (/home/www/dv2/services/services-test/main.js:2:219922) at webpack_require (/home/www/dv2/services/services-test/main.js:2:353533)

to me it looks like there is something with freetype2 on a server but maybe I'm missing something, so can you please share your thoughts.

Thanks in advance

This library uses another library called 'freetype2' to do some text rendering, and as you have discovered, webpack doesn't understand and copy the precompiled component of this when bundling.

You will need to make sure that after your webpack build, you make the file it is looking for at /home/www/dv2/services/services-test/prebuilds/freetype2-linux-x64/node-napi-v7.node available to it. Inside of your node_modules, will be a package @julusian/freetype2 which contains the prebuilds/freetype2-linux-x64/node-napi-v7.node file that you need to distribute.
