cannot build native dependency

See original GitHub issue

Version: 21.2.0

Target: Windows x64

I am trying to package a small project, which has serialport respectively @serialport/bindings. I am developing on macOS (Mojave). The build/packaging for Mac is working fine. The native dependency will be re-built.

When packaging for Windows, I get the following error:

• electron-builder  version=21.2.0 os=18.7.0
  • loaded configuration  file=package.json ("build" field)
  • writing effective config  file=release/builder-effective-config.yaml
  • rebuilding native dependencies  dependencies=@serialport/bindings@2.0.8 platform=win32 arch=x64
  • install prebuilt binary  name=@serialport/bindings version=2.0.8 platform=win32 arch=x64

I tried to package for Linux also for testing purpose, but I got the same error. I can only package for macOS.

@phhoef obviously you’ve got 404: prebuild-install http 404 https://github.com/node-serialport/node-serialport/releases/download/v2.0.8/bindings-v2.0.8-electron-v73-win32-x64.tar.gz

Try disabling rebuild by adding "npmRebuild": false, to your build config.

@phhoef Can’t get you more help right now, sorry, I’ve got the same 404 problem (but for another dependency) and resolved it with no reinstall flag.
