electron-prebuilt-win v3.1.3

Electron Prebuilt

This project contains a prebuilt Electron for Windows x64 with winax and ffi that require rebuild against corresponding header files.

Getting started

Simply run npm install electron-prebuilt-win to install and then launch electron from the dist directory.

Electron will only search node_modules from the application directory or upper, so these prebuilt node modules dist/node_modules will not be able to loaded. Here is a workaround:

set "ELECTRON_HOME=path\to\electron-prebuilt-win\dist"
set "PATH=%ELECTRON_HOME%;%PATH%"
start "" electron.exe myapp

In the entry point (e.g. main.js), add this line at top

const prebuiltModuleDir = process.env.ELECTRON_HOME + '\\resources\\node_modules'
require('module').globalPaths.push(prebuiltModuleDir)

How to build

1. Download iojs headers for Windows with this ./get_iojs.sh 2.02.2 (from amazon.s3 slow!)
2. Run ./build.sh (you can comment out some sub tasks, if your project is file size sensitive)
