Native Module

[Mike Parsons]

I'm trying to use a native sqlite3 module (https://github.com/developmentseed/node-sqlite3) in a node-webkit app on windows (x64)

It works fine with the latest version of node but when I try to include it into a node-webkit app ... it doesn't seem to want to load the native module. I've re-compiled the module for win32 and tested it with regular node and it all works fine but when I try to require the module, I get this error

%1 is not a valid Win32 application.

I can download the 32-bit node from nodejs.org and include the module and it works just fine.

Any ideas on how I could get this to work?

The code is very simple ...

try {

var sqlite3 = require('sqlite3');

var db = new sqlite3.Database(':memory:');

db.serialize(function() {

 

 db.each("SELECT sqlite_version() as version", function(err, row) {

 document.body.innerHTML+=row.version;

 });

});

db.close();

}

catch(e) {

document.body.innerHTML+=e.message;

}

Did you build it with 'nw-gyp'? and did you rename 'nw.exe' to anything
else?

For the renaming issue see
https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/issues/199

For building with 'nw-gyp' see

Thanks Roger ... this did the trick!

Another questions ... can I build an x64 executable on windows 7?

Hi, Roger

Is there any plan for issue#199 to be corrected?

It's on my plan to fix it. But there is no scheduled time.

no. Currently only 32bit binaries can be built on Windows and OSX.
