Please add binary for arm64

[creationix]

I'm trying to use this module on some arm64 devices and our build times are really long because there is no prebuilt binary for us.

node-pre-gyp ERR! Tried to download(403): https://mapbox-node-binary.s3.amazonaws.com/sqlite3/v3.1.13/node-v57-linux-arm64.tar.gz 
node-pre-gyp ERR! Pre-built binaries not found for sqlite3@3.1.13 and node@8.9.0 (node-v57 ABI) (falling back to source compile with node-gyp) 

I'm using the new LTS version of node.

You can reproduce this on a raspberry pi 3 using https://github.com/bamarni/pi64 which gives a 64-bit kernel. It does eventually compile from source, but every time uses about 15 minutes of time.

Hmm, actually, I'm having trouble build from source in some cases as well.

/srv/walnut/core/node_modules/sqlite3 # uname -m
aarch64
/srv/walnut/core/node_modules/sqlite3 # npm rebuild sqlite3
/srv/walnut/core/node_modules/sqlite3 # node -r sqlite3
module.js:538
    throw err;
    ^

I don't think it even tried to build from source when I initially ran npm install and npm rebuild doesn't seem to do anything.

Any ideas how I can debug node-prep-gyp issues here?

There is no ./lib/binding folder at all FWIW, which leads me to believe more it didn't try building the binary.

Yes, this would really help users. To make providing an arm64 binary sustainable for each release, we'd need an automated way of doing this. Do you have suggestions on how to script building for arm64 on travis (or similar free CI infra)?

Odd, @creationix can you try passing --build-from-source to your npm rebuild command? Without that node-pre-gyp will be attempting to install from a remote binary each time, by default. Clearly something is wrong with the fallback though that I can't tell from your logs.

Assuming your CI server has support for qemu-aarch64-static and docker, something like the following should work:

FROM arm64v8/node:carbon
COPY qemu-aarch64-static /usr/bin/qemu-aarch64-static
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y git build-essential
RUN git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/mapbox/node-sqlite3.git
WORKDIR /node-sqlite3
RUN make

See this article for more details on using qemu for cross-compiling with docker.

Another raspberry pi 3 node-sqlite user here. Pre-built would be wonderful 👍

[SridharRamasami]

One more raspberry pi 3 user here.

[lucianodlf]

another user is added to the order

I guess this could be built on qemu , check this related change:
#1028

[k1r0s]

yet another non amd64 user

[rzr]

Relate to: #1028

[Slos]

and another ARM user here. I've been trying all sorts of tricks to get this to build on my raspi without success. Please add pre built binary to the repo... thanks a lot!

[dvilelaf]

And another one user. Couldn't make it work on a raspberry pi zero w.

[rzr]

have you tried to build in docker ? may I also request this package to land in debian too
