Cross-Compile NPM? about help HOT 12 CLOSED

If you're targeting another architecture, you can pass --arch <name> to npm or node-gyp. If you're targeting another operating system, I think you'll need to export GYP_DEFINES="-DOS=<name>" before running node-gyp. You should also set the CC.target and CXX.target environment variables.

Keep in mind that not all modules are amenable to cross-compiling so YMMV.

Where is npm located once I have compiled nodejs soruce files?

from help.

In deps/npm? It's not installed until you run make install but you would not normally do that when you're cross-compiling.

from help.

Then, what have I to do? :]

from help.

Do what? Please be specific and ask closed questions when possible.

Well, I will try to be more specific. I have cross compiled Nodejs. But now, I'm trying to cross-compile a npm module. I've seen that I have npm in deps/npm but I don't know how to continue.

Thank you :D

Let's make sure we're talking about the same thing. What module in "trying to cross-compile a npm module" are you referring to?

from help.

The express module

from help.

You don't need to cross-compile express. It's just JS, no compiling needed.

from help.

Well I also want socket.io module. I think I have to compile that.

from help.

It has native bits but I think those are optional. If you want to give cross-compiling a go, see my first comment on how to approach that.

This issue can be closed. Thank you!
