Build failures when running electron-rebuild

[jlao]

I'm getting the following build errors when I attempt to run electron-rebuild with grpc.

../deps/grpc/third_party/boringssl/crypto/curve25519/spake25519.c:26:10: fatal error: '../../third_party/fiat/internal.h' file not found
#include "../../third_party/fiat/internal.h"
         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.

Here are the versions I'm using:

  "dependencies": {
    "grpc": "^1.11.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "electron": "^1.8.6",
    "electron-rebuild": "^1.7.3"
  }

Generally speaking, please don't use electron-rebuild with grpc. It generally messes things up due to it ignoring our installation steps, and not calling into node-pre-gyp.

The best way at that point to get grpc running into Electron is to run the following command:

npm rebuild grpc --runtime=electron --target=1.8.6 --dist-url=https://atom.io/download/electron

That being said, you're getting an error I am not expecting. @murgatroid99 are we sure we packaged sources properly in the npm package ?

I see the problem. Our package.json doesn't have a generated list of files because that was making npm unhappy. It has a manually curated list of globs, and it doesn't include anything from grpc/third_party/boringssl/third_party.
