Introduction

This repository contains the stub for Node-API used to avoid linker error on building native addon for Node.js using programming languages different from C and C++.

Building

The main purpose of this reposistory is to build Node-API static library that you could include on your project. On release you can find the build for the following operating systems:

• Windows
• Ubuntu 20.04
• Ubuntu 18.04
• Ubuntu 16.04
• macOS

If you want to build the Node-API library on your own the first step is to clone this repository:

> git clone https://github.com/napi-bindings/node-api-stub.git

Building on Windows

You will need to install GCC for Windows and CMake.

Install GCC compiler

• Download the right version for your system from this link.
• Be sure that gcc in in your path of execution.

Install CMake

• Download the right version for your system from this link.
• Be sure that cmake is in your path of execution.

Configure and build

Open your shell and execute the commands reported below:

mkdir ./build
cmake \
-DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM=mingw32-make.exe \
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc.exe \
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++.exe \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-G "CodeBlocks - Unix Makefiles" \
-S ./ \
-B ./build
cmake --build ./build

-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE could be set with one of the following two values:

• Release
• Debug

Building on Unix-like platform

You will need to install C / C++ compiler and CMake.

Prerequisistes to build on Linux

These steps were tested on:

• Ubuntu 16.04
• Ubuntu 18.04
• Ubuntu 20.04

First, you will need to install dependencies:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential -y
sudo apt-get install cmake -y

Prerequisites to build on macOS

These steps were tested on macOS Catalina (10.15).

First, you will need to install dependencies:

• Install Xcode
  • You also need to install the XCode Command Line Tools by running xcode-select --install. Alternatively, if you already have the full Xcode installed, you can find them under the menu Xcode -> Open Developer Tool -> More Developer Tools.... This step will install clang, clang++, and make.
• Install Homebrew
• Install and cmake running the following command:

brew install cmake

Configure and build

Open your shell and execute the commands reported below:

mkdir ./build
cmake \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-G "Unix Makefiles" \
-S ./ \
-B ./build
cmake --build ./build

-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE could be set with one of the following two values:

• Release
• Debug
