Build native modules with electron-builder for different OS

I'm creating an app using electron and nodejs, when I try to build it with electron-builder using following command:

electron-builder --mac --linux --win --x64

it builds native modules only for my current os. Is there a way to build native modules for all operating systems?

Solution

  • you can't. https://www.electron.build/multi-platform-build

    If your app has native dependency, 
it can be compiled only on the target platform unless prebuild is not used.

prebuild is a solution, but most node modules don't provide prebuilt binaries.
macOS Code Signing works only on macOS. Cannot be fixed.
