Can't reconcile two non-macho files

[WrathofthePast]

In macOS 12.3, Apple removed Python 2. electron-builder v23.0.0 added Python 3 support to resolve the issue. However, electron-universal now fails to package the universal app.

Does electron-universal directly utilize Python 2?

Hello!

This is a feature I worked on. It looks like build/Makefile is different when you are building for x64 than it is for arm64. Any idea why?

[indutny-signal]

The easiest fix might be to block it from being put into asar from package.json's by putting "!build/Makefile" into build.files[] array.

I tried that and got a different error:

Interestingly, this is a similar error to the one I got when I used electron-universal v1.0.5 with electron-builder v23.0.0. However, the first two at ...s are different. In that electron-builder version, they used your mergeASARs API, so electron-universal v1.0.5 didn't satisfy the dependency.

Well, you can ignore that other files as well, or even all files in build except build/Release? Not sure how it is used in your app, but the basic idea here is that you shouldn't bundle platform-specific files into your app unless they:

• have different names on each platform
• are binary .node files (binding for native addons)

That's what I've trying the past few minutes. After adding `"!build/addon.target.mk", the same error occurred with build/config.gypi, so added that too. The next error is with build/Release/addon.node. What do I do now since you're saying I can't ignore files in build/Release?

They do not.

• are binary .node files (binding for native addons)

Do you mean like node-addon-api or native-ext-loader?

[indutny-signal]

Could you run file build/Release/addon.node? I'm curious if this is an addon built for macOS at all.

What do you mean? Run it in the command line or add it to package.json?

By the way, I added "!build/Release/addon.node". Then it errored on build/Release/.deps/Release/obj.target/addon/src/driver/addon.o.d. After adding that it errored on each driver in build/Release/.deps/Release/obj.target/addon/librazermacos/src/lib. Finally, after adding that it, it successfully packaged the universal app and it works.

command line.

Here's the output:

macbook-pro:razer-macos-backup me$ file build/Release/addon.node
build/Release/addon.node: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit bundle x86_64Mach-O 64-bit bundle x86_64] [arm64:Mach-O 64-bit bundle arm64Mach-O 64-bit bundle arm64]
build/Release/addon.node (for architecture x86_64):	Mach-O 64-bit bundle x86_64
build/Release/addon.node (for architecture arm64):	Mach-O 64-bit bundle arm64

I didn't need to exclude build/binding.Makefile, build/gyp-mac-tool, or build/Release/obj.target to make it build. I had to exclude build/Release/.deps, build/Release/addon.node, build/Makefile, build/addon.target.mk, and build/config.gypi.

[indutny-signal]

Ah gosh, it is already universal. I wonder why it was different between x64 and arm64 bundles then...

[WrathofthePast]

I have an idea: in my build.files[] array, I've always included build. Is that redundant? Also, I noticed that build/Release/obj.target is identical to build/Release/.deps/Release/obj.target. Why are they duplicated?

[indutny-signal]

This is just the way the node.js addons are built. You can definitely include whole folder if this makes sense for your app.

[WrathofthePast]

I noticed in addon.target.mk that -arch x86_64 is not being passed to CFLAGS_Release while -arch arm64 is. Furthermore, I noticed config.gypi contains "msvs_configuration_platform": "ARM64" & "xcode_configuration_platform": "arm64", but does not have x86_64 anywhere. Do you think my binding.gyp is misconfigured?

[indutny-signal]

Unclear. I'd be more curious to learn what made this binding universal. Normally node addons are for single arch.
