Re: [nodejs] Missing node.lib after running vcbuild.bat

[José F. Romaniello]

Hello Erik, have you tried running ```vcbuild.bat --debug``` from the command line? I dont remember if it is --debug or just debug in windows.

Sorry I didnt reply the private mail about this, just saw the two

Hello everyone!

Just for evaluation, I wanted to try to write a C++ module for Node.js under Windows and found this useful blogpost, which I wanted to reproduce.

It says that I can download the latest source code and just run the included vcbuild.bat to make a windows build. This also works fine as far as I can see

but I'm not able to create my c++ module under visual studio because I can not link it to the node.lib file, which should have been created with vcbuild.

Any idea why the file is missing? I tried different versions of the source code. Some create a Release folder, some create a Debug folder, where the node.lib

should be located in, but it's not (there a lot of other different files though)!

Hope anyone has an idea, help would be much appreciated!

Thanks

/Erik

You don't need to build your own copy of node to build native addons.
Just use node-gyp instead, and it takes care of all the dirty work for
you (like linking to the node.lib file).

After you get node.sln after vcbuild.bat, build it in debug and release uisng Visual Studio. Then the lib should be in Debug directory or Release directory.

vcbuild.bat may build libs too.
