Frequently Ask Questions about node-pre-gyp

Is my node-pre-gyp packaged binary going to work on other platforms?

Yes, with a few important gochas:

• On Windows you'll need to make sure your users have the right C++ runtime installed.
• On OS X you'll need to make sure you compile your module with the desired value passed to the -mmacosx-version-min flag.
• On Linux you'll need to make sure to create your binaries on the oldest system you want to support. This means practically that if you create your binaries on Ubuntu Precise they will work on Ubuntu Precise and any other linux distro more recent (like Debian Sid or Ubuntu Trusty).

See the External-libraries for all the details.
