Updating the library?

[podrivo]

Hello,

Recently I tried to use greenworks in a project, but faced many errors using the latest versions of node and electron.
So I was wondering, any plans on updating the library?

Thank you!
All the best.

Check out this site for a bunch of prebuilds with different versions of node and electron:

Hey @MikalDev! Thank you so much for the reply! 😃

I have tried the Prebuilt versions and have downloaded the v0.6.0 SDK 1.5.0, Electron 13.0.0-beta.2 15.0.0-nightly.20210714, Mac 64bits, ABI v89.

And followed the Build Instructions (Electron) with a mix of Using Prebuilt Binaries in NW.js (Quick Start), plus some other docs and was able to read the .node files, but got new errors.

This is the latest error I got:

Uncaught Error: dlopen(/Library/WebServer/Documents/_dev/electron-quick-start/node_modules/greenworks/lib/greenworks-osx64.node, 1): no suitable image found.  Did find:
/Library/WebServer/Documents/_dev/electron-quick-start/node_modules/greenworks/lib/greenworks-osx64.node: malformed mach-o image: load command #8 length (0) too small in /Library/WebServer/Documents/_dev/electron-quick-start/node_modules/greenworks/lib/greenworks-osx64.node

I'm in macOS Catalina 10.15.7, testing with an electron-quick-start boilerplate with "electron": "^13.1.6" and node v14.17.0.

I also have greenworks-osx64.node, libsdkencryptedappticket.dylib, libsteam_api.dylib inside the folder node_modules/greenworks/lib.

Thoughts on why this might be happening?
Thank you!

Not sure, except a bad build of prebuilt or mismatch prebuilt vs electron/node versions. Can you send details on which versions of electron/node you are using and exactly which prebuilt binary you are using (and platform details, e.g. OS, OS version.)

[podrivo]

Hey @MikalDev! Yeah, I think this might be the case.

I'm using:

• electron: ^13.1.6
• node: v14.17.0
• macOS 10.15.7

I've downloaded the latest Prebuilt for Mac/Electron:

• v0.6.0 SDK 1.5.0
• Electron 13.0.0-beta.2 → 15.0.0-nightly.20210714
• Mac 64bits
• ABI v89

I was wondering if you know any working example I could clone and try?
Or possibly a more updated documentation?

I'm sorry, but I've tried many many many things, but couldn't build or use a prebuilt so far.

Hey @MikalDev! I was able to build greenworks with the latest Steamworks SDK v1.51.
So this repo definitely needs some love in the documentation!

I also found a bug in the binding.gyp that was preventing me to build it properly in macOS: #295
And this might be also bugging the prebuilds: ElectronForConstruct/greenworks-prebuilds#349

@podrivo Do you mind writing just a basic how-to to get this working on Mac? I'm having the same issues as you.

[podrivo]

Hey @Leka74 ! It took me so long to get this working, but in most part, the Building with electron-rebuild section from this tutorial works.

What I did was:

• Install latest dependencies: Python v3, node, Xcode, Developer Tools and whatnot. Make sure you have all $PATH and all these environment variables working.
• Fresh electron-quick-start install. More about this here
• Install greenworks, but run without scripts: npm install --save --ignore-scripts git+https://github.com/greenheartgames/greenworks.git
• Download the latest Steamworks SDK v1.51 and copy files inside node_modules/greenworks/deps. Make sure you rename the folder to steamworks_sdk
• Since we're using the latest SDK, make sure you edit the file node_modules/greenworks/binding.gyp and remove the 32 from the osx32. Find and edit and save the file
• Install electron-rebuild by running: npm install --save-dev electron-rebuild
• And then run it: node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

This worked for me! Tried in Windows as well and it was successful.
Hope this works for you as well! (:

Thanks a lot @podrivo, got it working now.
