electron-builder fails to package with native node module on Ubuntu

See original GitHub issue
  • Version: 7.14.1

  • Target: Ubuntu 16.04 64bit

I’m trying to use node-system-idle-time in my electron app, I got the app running with electron-prebuilt by navigating to node-modules/@paulcbetts/system-idle-time and running sudo HOME=~/.electron-gyp node-gyp rebuild --target=1.3.4 --arch=x64 --dist-url=https://atom.io/download/atom-sh

but when I’m trying to build the app by electron-builder I get this: any ideas? Thanks

Thanks again for the answer, with those fixes now it’s building fine when targeting Linux x64 but when I’m trying to build for Linux ia32 I get the following error. does that mean the target node in native module is not compatible or? I’m on Ubuntu 16.04 x64 ,thanks
