A command line tool for easily doing prebuilds for multiple version of node/iojs on a specific platform
npm install -g prebuild
cd a-native-module
# create prebuilds for iojs v2.4.0 and node 0.12.7 and write them to ./prebuilds/
prebuild -t v2.4.0 -t 0.12.7
For more options run prebuild --help. The prebuilds created are compatible with node-pre-gyp
Prebuild supports uploading/downloading prebuilds to Github releases.
To upload prebuilds simply add the --upload [github-token] option
prebuild -t v2.4.0 -t 0.12.7 -u put-your-github-personal-token-here
To download a prebuild for your specific platform simply use the --download flag
prebuild --download
If no suitable prebuild is found for the current platform / node version prebuild
will simply fallback to run node-gyp rebuild.
The downloaded prebuilds will be cached in your npm cache meaning you'll only have to download them once.
You just need to do a prebuild for every version of node/iojs that have new ABI (application binary interface). As of writing this to support all versions of node (>0.8.0) and iojs do
prebuild -t 0.10.26 -t 0.12.7 -t 1.0.1 -t 1.8.1 -t 2.4.0
Optionally to always build for the above versions you can add a rc file to ~/.prebuildrc with the following content
target[] = 0.10.26
target[] = 0.12.7
target[] = 1.0.1
target[] = 1.8.1
target[] = 2.4.0
