Fix build

[spalger]

Fixes #4597

Revisits some of the existing build tasks and handles building and uploading with the latest changes from #4611

Works in Windows 8.1

After a plugin install, memory use is pretty high. It drops back to normal levels when you restart the process though. @spalger is it just a matter of the OS not taking memory away from the process when it's done with it?

Under normal operation, it seems to stay around 140bm-170mb.

The Windows build does not work on 32-bit versions of Windows. Maybe we're shipping the wrong version of node?

Checking the node.exe with file on Mac shows PE32+, and I think the + might indicate a 64-bit binary.

[spalger]

@w33ble were we previously shipping the 32bit node? I didn't mean to change that but I did

[w33ble]

Yup, 32-bit will run on both versions of Windows seemlessly, 64-bit only runs on 64-bit Windows.

We've always shipped 32-bit Windows, 64-bit Darwin and both Linux builds of Node.

[spalger]

@w33ble as for memory usage after plugin installation I would categorize that as a known issue, created #4683 to track it.

[w33ble]

32-bit Windows is working now. I see the following message when starting it up though, and also when installing plugins:

INFO: Could not find files for the given pattern(s).

It all works, so it's not a big deal, but it's worth mentioning. @BigFunger doesn't see this in 64-bit Windows, seems to just be me.

Doesn't work on Ubuntu 14.04 64bit:

EDIT

after installing babel, lodash and requirefrom with npm, I get this error:

@Quiri Have you followed the steps in the CONTRIBUTING.md?

[Quiri]

@spalger Stupid me, I discovered CONTRIBUTING.md right after posting the previous comment. Now it works!

[spalger]

@Quiri Glad to hear!
