Hi Chris (again me!) I wrote a native module for windows, and i am deploying the binary. The problem i see with windows is that it doesnt come with a compiler by default.. so if you want to deploy only sources the user will have to have a compiler installed (recommended is Visual C++ express).
recently someone proposed this same thing you are proposing in my project: https://github.com/jfromaniello/windowseventlogjs/issues/3 maybe not two packages, but I might have one with two binaries and choose at runtime what to use. It will make the package bigger but this is a really small binary 2012/9/25 christkv <[email protected]> > Hi > > I'm wondering how people are dealing with windows native extensions.
