drivelist fails to compile on Mac

[sebastianrath]

There is already an open issue about failed compilations on Mac in #390 but this one below is different, and I am still trying to wrap my head around it.

I use Electron 12.0.5 with Node 14.16.1 and node-gyp v8.0.0 with the latest version of drivelist. The compilation succeeds, but the post builds fail when drivelist.o.d.raw is deleted.

$ npm install electron:build

...
cannot execute  cause=exit status 1

    > [email protected] install /Users/sebastian/Documents/snowfs/node_modules/drivelist
    > prebuild-install || node-gyp rebuild
    
      CXX(target) Release/obj.target/drivelist/src/drivelist.o
    make [ 'BUILDTYPE=Release', '-C', 'build' ]
    
                    errorOut=prebuild-install WARN install No prebuilt binaries found (target=12.0.5 runtime=electron arch=x64 libc= platform=darwin)
    rm: ./Release/.deps/Release/obj.target/drivelist/src/drivelist.o.d.raw: No such file or directory

AFAICS the error appears during the auto-generated makefile:

# Helper that executes all postbuilds until one fails.
define do_postbuilds
  @E=0;\
  for p in $(POSTBUILDS); do\
    eval $$p;\
    E=$$?;\
    if [ $$E -ne 0 ]; then\
      break;\
    fi;\
  done;\
  if [ $$E -ne 0 ]; then\
    rm -rf "$@";\             <!------------------------
    exit $$E;\
  fi
endef

Does anyone have further insights, what is happening here?

I had to set to "drivelist": "6.4.3" - not sure if this is the correct solution or not, am a little confused.

@seb-mtl have you tried with node 12 instead? I'm trying to lure out some issues with node 14 and node 16, maybe this is one of them too

[jfo8000]

Yeah I swapped to node 14 and seems to be sort of working. I think my main issue now is the API seems to have changed between the two versions.
