node-embed

Purpose of this repository

This repository aims at demonstrating the usage of the shared library API in Node.js' current implementation, as well as the new, extended implementation of said API proposed in this Node.js fork. This repository is a work in progress in the "Advanced Development in C++" project seminar at Hasso Platter Institute's Chair of Computer Graphics Systems.

Setup

• download the Node.js headers:

mkdir externals
cd externals
wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v9.0.0/node-v9.0.0-headers.tar.gz
tar -xzvf node-v9.0.0-headers.tar.gz
cd ..

• either copy Node lib binary to externals/node-v9.0.0/Release/ or build it from source:

cd externals
wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v9.0.0/node-v9.0.0.tar.gz
tar -xzvf node-v9.0.0.tar.gz
cd node-v9.0.0
./configure --shared
make -j4
cd ../..

• install the required Node.js modules by running: npm install
• then either just open CMakeLists.txt with QtCreator, configure it and press run
• or start from terminal with the following commands:

Building the project

Windows

Make sure you have Qt installed for the Visual Studio compiler.

cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH='C:\Qt\Qt5.9.3\5.9.3\msvc2017_64\lib\cmake' .
cmake --build .

Linux

CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=~/Qt/5.10.0/gcc_64/lib/cmake/Qt5 cmake .
make -j6

Mac

• Set Environment Variables:
  • CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH must point to your Qt directory (e.g. /Users/[USRNAME]/Qt/[QT-VERSION]/clang_64)
