Instruções para Configurar (Linux)
Follow the guidelines below for building Electron itself on Linux, for the purposes of creating custom Electron binaries. For bundling and distributing your app code with the prebuilt Electron binaries, see the application distribution guide.
Pré-requisitos
Due to Electron's dependency on Chromium, prerequisites and dependencies for Electron change over time. Chromium's documentation on building on Linux has up to date information for building Chromium on Linux. This documentation can generally be followed for building Electron on Linux as well.
Additionally, Electron's Linux dependency installer can be referenced to get the current dependencies that Electron requires in addition to what Chromium installs via build/install-deps.sh.
Forçar compilação
If you want to build for an arm target, you can use Electron's Linux dependency installer to install the additional dependencies by passing the --arm argument:
$ sudo install-deps.sh --arm
And to cross-compile for arm or targets, you should pass the target_cpu parameter to gn gen:
$ gn gen out/Testing --args='import(...) target_cpu="arm"'
Compilando
Solução de Problemas
Erro ao carregar bibliotecas compartilhadas: libtinfo.so.5
Prebuilt clang will try to link to libtinfo.so.5. Depending on the host architecture, symlink to appropriate libncurses:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.5
Tópicos Avançados
The default building configuration is targeted for major desktop Linux distributions. To build for a specific distribution or device, the following information may help you.
Usando o clang em vez de fazer o download dos binários de clang
Por padrão o Electron é feito com código binário clang pre-produzido e fornecido pelo projeto Chromium. Se por alguma razão quer construir usando clang instalado no seu sistema, pode especificar o argumento clang_base_path nos argumentos do GN.
Por exemplo, se o clang estiver instalado em /usr/local/bin/clang:
$ gn gen out/Testing --args='import("//electron/build/args/testing.gn") clang_base_path = "/usr/local/bin"'
Utilizando compiladores diferentes de clang
Construir Electron com compiladores diferentes de clang não é suportado.
