Mac build failing with spawn hdiutil ENOENT

• electron: 1.4.3
• electron-builder: 7.11.4
• build platform: linux
• target platform: mac

Trying to build my trial ‘hello world’ app for Mac, I get the following error:

> electron-koa-hello-world@0.0.0 build .../electron-koa-app
> build "--mac" "--x64"

Skip app dependencies rebuild because platform is different

Am I doing something wrong, or is there a bug?

You can build mac dmg only on macOS. Please see https://github.com/LinusU/node-appdmg/issues/14#issuecomment-244538777

@iMoses To avoid CLI arg, you can simply:

"mac": {
  "target": "tar.gz"
}

in the configuration.
