electronffielectron-rebuild

failed to run electron-rebuild with ffi on windows 10 (src\ffi.cc(228): error C2065: 'Handle': undeclared identifier)


I need to use module "ffi" in a node electron project. I can use "gyp" to rebuild it and use the library in node, but I cannot rebuild it using "electron-rebuild" and use it in electron.

I have run:

cd ./node_modules/.bin && electron-rebuild --force --module-dir=../../

It gives me the following error. (I have removed some warning since it is over the character limit of stack overflow. The whole log is in: https://github.com/electron/electron-rebuild/issues/308)

> cd ./node_modules/.bin && electron-rebuild --force --module-dir=../../

× Rebuild Failed

I have node v8.10.0, and

"dependencies": {
    "electron": "^5.0.6",
    "ffi": "^2.3.0",
    "ref": "^1.3.5",
    "ref-struct": "^1.1.0",
    "windows-build-tools": "^4.0.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "electron-rebuild": "^1.8.5"
  }

Solution

  • Official ffi does not support Electron 5 and Node v10. Try ffi-napi instead
