> Build tool and bindings loader for [`node-gyp`][node-gyp] that supports prebuilds.
3+
Fork of [node-gyp-build](https://github.com/prebuild/node-gyp-build) to override npm defaults, allowing [node-mobile-gyp](https://github.com/nodejs-mobile/nodejs-mobile-gyp) to run.

## Versioning

Use together with [`prebuildify`][prebuildify] to easily support prebuilds for your native modules.
12-
13-
## Usage
14-
15-
> **Note.** Prebuild names have changed in [`prebuildify@3`][prebuildify] and `node-gyp-build@4`. Please see the documentation below.
16-
17-
`node-gyp-build` works similar to [`node-gyp build`][node-gyp] except that it will check if a build or prebuild is present before rebuilding your project.
18-
19-
It's main intended use is as an npm install script and bindings loader for native modules that bundle prebuilds using [`prebuildify`][prebuildify].
20-
21-
First add `node-gyp-build` as an install script to your native project
22-
23-
``` js
24-
{
25-
...
26-
"scripts": {
27-
"install": "node-gyp-build"
28-
}
29-
}
30-
```
31-
32-
Then in your `index.js`, instead of using the [`bindings`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/bindings) module use `node-gyp-build` to load your binding.
33-
34-
``` js
35-
var binding = require('node-gyp-build')(__dirname)
36-
```
37-
38-
If you do these two things and bundle prebuilds with [`prebuildify`][prebuildify] your native module will work for most platforms
39-
without having to compile on install time AND will work in both node and electron without the need to recompile between usage.
40-
41-
Users can override `node-gyp-build` and force compiling by doing `npm install --build-from-source`.
42-
43-
Prebuilds will be attempted loaded from `MODULE_PATH/prebuilds/...` and then next `EXEC_PATH/prebuilds/...` (the latter allowing use with `zeit/pkg`)

## Supported prebuild names
46-
47-
If so desired you can bundle more specific flavors, for example `musl` builds to support Alpine, or targeting a numbered ARM architecture version.
48-
49-
These prebuilds can be bundled in addition to generic prebuilds; `node-gyp-build` will try to find the most specific flavor first. Prebuild filenames are composed of _tags_. The runtime tag takes precedence, as does an `abi` tag over `napi`. For more details on tags, please see [`prebuildify`][prebuildify].
50-
51-
Values for the `libc` and `armv` tags are auto-detected but can be overridden through the `LIBC` and `ARM_VERSION` environment variables, respectively.

Not following Semver, instead a `x.y.z-a` version means that we are forking node-gyp-build version `x.y.z`, where `a` is incremented as we publish versions.
