Unable to build sqlite3 for nwjs (node-webkit)

[prasanthkodali]

Hi,

I am trying to install sqlite3 for nwjs v0.12.3. I followed the instructions to build for nwjs using nw-gyp. But when I do that, the build fails. The following is the exact command I used and the output of the command:

sudo npm install -g sqlite3 --build-from-source --runtime=node-webkit --target_arch=x64 --target="0.12.3"
/

[email protected] install /usr/local/lib/node_modules/sqlite3
node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build

Thanks in advance,

nwjs 0.12.x is not supported at this time. Only 0.10.x and 0.8.x /cc @Mithgol

I just managed to install and use it with nwjs 0.12.3 and it worked ( :

In my case i build for the OSX 32 bits, so after npm install i also ran:

npm install sqlite3 --build-from-source --runtime=node-webkit --target_arch=ia32 --target=0.12.3

i got a couple of errors here and there when updating to the new nwjs, but eventually it runs and works.

In my case was a python (v2, v3) issue so:

$ mkdir ~/bin
$ ln -s /usr/bin/python2 ~/bin/python
$ ln -s /usr/bin/python2-config ~/bin/python-config

Did anyone get it working for nwjs version 0.39.0 in Mac/windows machine? Could you please share your thoughts here.

[daniellockyer]

Would you be able to try with v5.0.3? 🙂
