Bindings not found error when using libxml-xsd in electron app

[renegadeandy]

Please see the well documented error here:

[albanm]

I don't know anything about electron. Using webpack with a native module like libxml-xsd surprises me, but I guess electron provides some kind of hybrid environment in which it makes sense.

Have you seen tutorials like this one ?

[renegadeandy]

I am by no means an expert, I think that webpack in this case I think compiles the typescript amongst other things.

I have installed electron-rebuild like you have suggested and this is the output:

Any idea how to solve some of these upset looking messages?

[renegadeandy]

Any ideas?

[albanm]

No, not really.

Do you use node 8 ? cf #22

[renegadeandy]

Dont believe so:

node -v
v6.11.1

[renegadeandy]

If it would be useful to you - I could share the repo and you could take a closer look if you were willing?

[albanm]

I don't have a lot of time to spend on that, so I can't make any promise. But if you share everything that is needed to recreate the problem, yes I will have a look.
