node-gypcc

node-gyp wrapper for compiling native node addons without the binding.gyp build conventions - compat with make, cmake, ninja, etc. Use it like gcc, emcc, clang, CC=node-gypcc. Arguments & environment variables are carefully marshalled to heal gyp pain with electron, xcode_settings and rigid filesystem constraints.

* single src file (<400 LOC)
* single dep (node-gyp)

cli

basics:

``sh


install

npm install -g node-gypcc

build no binding.gyp

node-gypcc hello.c -o hello.node

require no build/[Debug|Release}/...

node -e "require(hello.node).hello()"
`

more realistic build script:

`sh


node-gyp specific cli args

CC="node-gypcc --silly --debug"

fixes gyp inconsistencies in npm env vars

see: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/2250

export npm_config_runtime="electron"
export npm_config_target="13.1.2"
export npm_config_dist_url="https://electronjs.org/headers"

for the shell fluent >> gyp conditionals & variables

export MAKE="gmake"
CFLAGS="-I${PREFIX}/include -I${PWD}"
CFLAGS+=" -fPIC -O3 -std=c2x -pthread -Wno-incompatible-pointer-types"
CFLAGS+=" -Wno-int-conversion -Wno-error=deprecated-declarations"
if [ "$(uname)" == "Darwin" ]; then
# marshalls magically reserved words of gyp xcode_settings
# see: https://github.com/nickdesaulniers/node-nanomsg/pull/144
CFLAGS+=" -mmacosx-version-min=10.12"
fi
LDFLAGS="-L${PREFIX}/lib -ltcc -lpthread"

env or args

CFLAGS=$CFLAGS $CC $LDFLAGS ./binding.c -o ./build/binding.node
`

reminder software degrades faster than hardware improves:

`
CC=node-gypcc make binding.node
``
