[nodejs] Continue with package installation if node-gyp fails

2014-07-11 Thread Pascal Mathis 
Hello everyone

I am currently trying to offer an *optional native library* for my own 
Node.js package. My library actually works 6+ (up to 20, didn't test 
further) times faster than with the plain JS implementation. The drawback: 
It requires libcrypto++-dev, otherwise the build will fail. Also, it will 
not work on Windows operating systems. What I am trying to do is to make 
the node-gyp build process optional, so that npm would continue with 
installing the package, even if node-gyp fails. Is there any way to do 
that? I've already looked through various example gyp-files and stumbled 
upon some documentations, but was not able to find a solution.

Thanks in advance for your answer and have a nice evening!

Best regards
Pascal

Re: [nodejs] Continue with package installation if node-gyp fails

2014-07-13 Thread Pascal Mathis 
Thanks for your answer, Elijah. I know that already, but I would rather 
prefer to -not- split my native library into a new package. It is just a 
single .cpp & binding.gyp file and I don't like the idea of having 2 
separate repositories. Thats why I was looking for any sort of option which 
would tell npm: "Hey, node-gyp failed, it doesn't matter, the package is 
still fine." Is there anything like that?

Re: [nodejs] Continue with package installation if node-gyp fails

2014-07-13 Thread Ryan Graham 
I think you're looking for something like this:

"install": "node-gyp rebuild || exit 0"

Putting that in the scripts section of your module's package.json will
prevent the installation of the module from failing just because node-gyp
fails.
