I am developing an app using electron.

I have setup an addon that uses c++ code and translated it into nodejs code using NAPI.

Now I want to include an external .so library (with a .h file) but can't find any documents that achieve any success.

I keep getting error: undefined symbol: Some_Function_Name

you can specifiy libraries to link against in the binding.gyp, details is in Node-gyp/C++ import shared library (.so) and How to build nodejs C++ addon depending on a shared library with relative location. when using NAPI you use node-gyp as the toolchain to compile automatically, is a dependency of NAPI

  • I checked those, seemed I made a silly mistake in my binding.gyp file, the problem was that the "libraries" tag was not included in the "targets" tag I had included it on its own. I am getting some errors now but will debug, thanks – Fady Fadlallah Oct 14 '18 at 09:15
