Problem with my Native C++ Addon in Electron in Mac


I am writing code to load c++ dynamic library from electron. When trying it in Mac I get the following error:

dyld: Symbol not found: __ZN15FcDrive2Library13InitDrive2LibEv Referenced from: /Users/nikhell/Documents/Codelathe/Workspace/cl-fc-client/electron-drive-client/build/Release/electronToCppBridge.node Expected in: flat namespace

My binding.gyp file looks like this:

        ],
    }       
    ]
}

Its working in windows. In Mac I have tried reinstalling the node modules and electron-rebuild also. None of them works for me. Th dylib is getting copied successfully besides the native .node module. Dont know why this link error is coming


Solution

  • Never mind. I realized that the link_dependencies tag needs to be added in binding.gyp. Also the dylib needs to be copied at the root of the project.
