  1. Node.js Runtime? • Making sure your user used the correct

    Node.js • Could multiple Node.js versions co-exist? • Wish to use ECMAScript 2017?
  2. But there are so many API’s • require, require.resolve •

    fs.readFile, fs.readFileSync, fs.ReadStream • fs.readlink, fs.stat, fs.statSync, fs.readlinkSync • …
  3. SquashFS • a compressed read-only file system • used by

    the Live CD versions of Arch Linux, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Mint, Salix, Ubuntu • used on OpenWrt and DD-WRT router firmware
  4. SquashFS • Introduced in 2009 with Linux 2.6.29 • File

    format very stabilized • Unsquashfs and mksquashfs have win32 ports; 7-Zip on win32 also supports SquashFS • Part of kernel; GPL Licensed
  5. https://github.com/pmq20/libsquash libsquash • MIT licensed • Super embeddable • 1

    dependency only, which could be statically linked • Compiles on 3 platforms, even Windows XP with VC++ 2010 • Introduces VFD - virtual file descriptor, intercepting system calls unobtrusively libsquash
  6. nodec is also enclosed Operating System Architecture Download Link Windows

    x86 https://sourceforge.net/projects/ node-compiler/files/v0.9.4/ nodec.exe/download macOS x86-64 https://sourceforge.net/projects/ node-compiler/files/v0.9.4/nodec- darwin-x64/download Linux x86-64 https://sourceforge.net/projects/ node-compiler/files/v0.9.4/nodec- linux-x64/download
  7. Install on Windows • SquashFS Tools 4.3 • Python 2.6

    or 2.7 • Visual Studio 2015 Update 3, all editions including the Community edition (remember to select "Common Tools for Visual C++ 2015" feature during installation). • Then download the executable nodec.exe and run it from the VC++ or VS Command Prompt.
  8. Install on macOS • SquashFS Tools 4.3: brew install squashfs

    • Xcode + Command Line Tools • Python 2.6 or 2.7 • GNU Make 3.81 or newer
  9. Install on Linux • SquashFS Tools 4.3 • gcc and

    g++ 4.8 or newer, or • clang and clang++ 3.4 or newer • Python 2.6 or 2.7 • GNU Make 3.81 or newer
  10. Quicker Install / Upgrade • Quicker upgrading embedded node.js applications

    / plugins • Quicker upgrading embedded node.js applications / plugins • E.g. fengdie inside the Tea IDE
  11. Enabling Node.js Developers • Build softwares instead of modules •

    Distribute to non-technical users • Merchandise by building personal / enterprise softwares
  12. Code Protection • Enable code signing for the entire application;

    guarantee not being altered or corrupted • Prevent hacking by users modifying exposed Javascript source code • Applicable to NW.js applications (DingTalk) and Electron applications (Tea)
  13. Use CentOS release 5.8
 with gcc and g++ 4.8
