I need this for
electron-builderand the native addonffi-napi, which recently started usingnode-gyp-buildfor prebuilds (node-ffi-napi/node-ffi-napi#63) but I want to compile it from source. WithbuildDependenciesFromSource: trueyou can instructelectron-builderto do so, but this currently does not work withnode-gyp-build.The problem is that the
electron-buildertooling effectively callsnpm rebuild <dep>and thennpm_config_argvdoes not contain--build-from-source. However,env.npm_config_build_from_sourcedoes exist. Hooray!Incidentally, using
env.npm_config_*is also the recommended approach by npm and works since npm 0.1.8 whilenpm_config_argvwill stop working in npm 7. See npm/rfcs#90.Related: digidem/mapeo-desktop#305
