Prebuild binaries for Node 12 LTS (v72)

[madmoizo]

Currently, bcrypt requires a manual build to work with the latest Node 12

[recrsn]

It's because Node 12 was released very recently and I haven't got the time to generate a prebuilt binary unfortunately

[madmoizo]

I know, don't worry, it's nothing more than a reminder ;)

[tmirun]

Same problem, i am waiting too =)

[CherryNerd]

Any idea when it'll be ready to use?
I'd like to be able to use the faster async/await and other V8 improvements of Node 12 :)

@CherryNerd You can use it, just install dependencies for source compile. A cyclone hit my city and currently, I am stuck at a place with no power and really poor internet, I cannot promise any ETA about when I would be able to provide a pre-compiled binary for Node 12.

@agathver I hope you are well

@frlinw can you write how to build it manually for the latest Node 12, I start a project with electron 5 and it only working with node 12 =(

@tmirun it's in the README: install dependencies then update bcrypt and it will try to build it https://github.com/kelektiv/node.bcrypt.js#dependencies
Note:
Requirement for node-gyp: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-windows

(Node 12 installer should ask you if you want to install node-gyp and its dependencies)

[tmirun]

@frlinw Oh, right, ty guy I will try it =)

Will this be fixed?

[ayZagen]

Nodejs v12 is promoted to be LTS. I think it is time for bcrypt should support v12

ping?

Why was this closed?

[recrsn]

@orgads See #796

Prebuilt libraries are available, NodeJS update has broken the download mechanism. But it is fixed in v5.0.0 which will be released soon
