When I try packaging with nexe using the --build flag, I get TypeError: Cannot read property 'PYTHON' of undefined. I see this on Linux ARM and macOS.

Steps to duplicate

$ mkdir hello
$ cd hello
$ npm init -y
$ echo console.log\(\'hello\'\) > index.js
$ npx nexe index.js --build

TypeError: Cannot read property ‘PYTHON’ of undefined

I can work around this by manually building the downloaded source

$ cd ~/.nexe/8.10.0/
$ ./configure && make
$ cd ~/hello
$ npx nexe index.js --build

Do I need to set some additional configuration or is this a bug?

Please also provide:

• Platform(OS/Version): macOS 10.13.4 and Linux rpi ARM
• Host Node Version: 8.10.0
• Target Node Version: 8.10.0
• Nexe version: nexe@2.0.0-rc.28
• Python Version: 2.7.10 (macOS) 2.7.13 (Linux ARM)

@beenotung if manually compile the source in ~/.nexe/8.10.0/, nexe will find and used the compiled code next time you package an app
