| daniel | Hi! I'm experiencing some node-gyp errors when building a package with buildNpmPackage.
Specifically, I get the error npm ERR! gyp: binding.gyp not found (cwd: /build/1501d1ijr2j8h40cgy6b8wwaz88hi53l-source/node_modules/@maplibre/maplibre-gl-native) while trying to load binding.gyp. Is anyone familiar with a way to migitate this, or is it possibly an upstream issue?
| 14:01:56 |
 Cobalt | Anything node-gyp related tends to be a missing dependency. `maplibre-gl-native` sounds like something that needs OpenGL. | 14:04:42 |
| Cobalt | Have you checked if the package requires another native library? This dependency may need to be added to `buildInputs` (or other inputs, depending on the usage) | 14:05:54 |
| daniel | I get it working in my dev shell when running npm run build. I see that the maplibre-gl-native package doesn't bundle binding.gyp like usual, and uses node-pre-gyp instead to fetch it from GitHub. | 14:05:59 |
| Cobalt | Ah, nix build/ nix-build iirc don't allow direct internet access for npm. | 14:07:13 |
| Cobalt | In general it's not a good idea but you may be able to get around it by deactivating the sandbox for this specific build: `nix build --option sandbox=false ...`

| daniel | I believe npm runs in offline mode for the builder, so no luck, but thanks! 😥 | 14:19:11 |
| Lily Foster | A node-gyp package doesn't provide a bindings.gyp and expects them to be downloaded from the internet...??! | 14:52:53 |
| Lily Foster | node-pre-gyp is for downloading prebuilt binaries | 14:54:07 |
| Lily Foster | not the files to build the binaries. afaik | 14:54:14 |
| Lily Foster | and is supposed to fail gracefully in the absence of a binary being available? | 14:54:24 |
| Lily Foster | Can you share your full build log? | 14:54:35 |
| Lily Foster | they removed the ability for it to build at all, so the fallback fails 🙃 https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/pull/15748 | 14:55:29 |
| Lily Foster | why is node.js ecosystem such an ecological disaster | 14:55:39 |
| Lily Foster | this pr would fix it; https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-native/pull/535 | 14:56:00 |
