Building the N-API addons

The library uses pre-built addons only, no recompilation should be needed.

If you still want to compile yourself, for a modification or a fork, use these instructions.

Windows x64

Install Visual Studio 2022 build tools
In the addons directory, run npm install and then npm run build-windows-x64

Windows arm64 (assuming cross-compiling from x64)

To cross-compile for arm64 go to Visual Studio Installer -> Individual components, and ensure MSVC v143 - VS 2022 C++ ARM64 build tools (latest) is checked. Then in the addons directory run npm run build-windows-arm64

macOS x64 and arm64

In the addons directory, run npm install, then: npm run build-macos-x64 (x64) or npm run build-macos-arm64 (arm64)

Linux x64

Ensure you have the ALSA header files installed globally. On Ubuntu you can use sudo apt install libasound2-dev.
In the addons directory, run npm install and then npm run build-linux-x64

Linux arm64 (assuming cross-compiling from x64)

To successfully cross-compile for arm64:

Install g++-aarch64-linux-gnu package
Manually download a libasound2-dev package targeting arm64 (example Ubuntu package) and extract the package locally to ~/arm64-libs (that's the default location used in addons/binding.gyp - you'll need to edit the file to change it)
In the addons directory, run npm install and then npm run build-linux-arm64
