Use native modules that came with prebuilt binaries

[Lidanha]

Hey,

I see that node-pre-gyp is executed when I try to 'cordova build android' my project. It leads to unexpected results. To my understanding it's because the specific package I'm installing has some prebuilt binaries (for Linux - not for Android). Is there any way I can avoid them and pass the build-from-source parameter to the native build command and this way these binaries will be built for Android (hopefully)?

I hope my question is clear

Hi, @Lidanha ,
On the most recent version of nodejs-mobile-cordova, it is trying to automatically detect native modules and rebuilding it for the Android OS. This command also passes the --build-from-source to npm rebuild in case node-pre-gyp is used by any of the modules:

What module is having issues? For module build issues, would you mind opening an issue describing the module's error in this repo: https://github.com/janeasystems/nodejs-mobile-module-compat

Thanks @jaimecbernardo
I just installed the latest version. Will check and update with more specific details

OK this issue can be closed. I think I had some environment issues that somehow got fixed (by running cordova clean)
Thank you @jaimecbernardo
