Native building issue using Electron

[spawnrider]

Hi,

I am attempting to build an electron app using NFC-PCSC lib.
There is an issue when rebuilding the library using electron-rebuild :

Hi @spawnrider,

thank you for posting your issue here. 🙂 Sorry, for the late response. I've been quite busy.

From the log you attached, it seems that node-gyp rebuild command fails.
I think it may be caused by some incompatibility of node-gyp with the current version of Windows.

Anyway, it should work. I normally use nfc-pcsc in Electron and I am able to build it for Windows, too. So there must just some version incompatibility.

Are you able to install nfc-pcsc without problems?
If yes, then the problem must be connected to electron-rebuild. We could try to run node-gyp rebuild command directly (I'll post it here).

I'll look at it more in the afternoon. I'll be online on chat today around 15:00 UTC, so we can try to solve it. I believe, together we will find the solution.

Hope it helps. 🙂
