FAQ
Can I use this in other environments (Windows, MacOS etc.)?
No, you're probably looking for node-canvas-prebuilt.
The Reason
I spent some time (a week, actually) trying to deploy a Serverless application with node-canvas, so I decided to make life easier for those who try to do the same.
Thanks
- Automattic for making such a wonderful library;
- WebSeed for his node-canvas-aws-lambda-example which gave me the inspiration;
- anandanand84 for his how-dependencies-were-created (I slightly modified it and used to build the libs);
- mankins for his guide (really helped me to find the solution);
- eonarheim for this comment from which I learned how to make the executable to search for libs in its current folder.
