What does this PR do ?
This PR adds a long-requested feature: prebuilds of the bindings. The process of building is done for every
npm i
, which is slow and inefficient. By usingprebuildify
andnode-gyp-build
, we can create prebuilds for the most popular platforms/distributions and speed up the process considerably.Here is a simplified schema to show how it works :
How should this be manually tested?
npm build
and pack it with NPM.boost-geospatial-index
in thenode_modules
folder. No build folder should be present. If present, it meansnode-gyp-build
was not able to find a compatible prebuild.Other changes
Adapted the
package.json
to only pack necessary files.
