{"library":"bin-build","type":"library","category":null,"description":"The `bin-build` package, currently at version 3.0.0 and last updated approximately nine years ago (around 2017), provides a JavaScript API for programmatically compiling external software from source code. It simplifies the process of downloading, extracting, and executing a sequence of shell commands (e.g., `./configure`, `make`, `make install`) to build binaries from tarball archives fetched from URLs or local files, or directly from source within a specified directory. This utility is valuable for Node.js projects that need to integrate or manage native dependencies or command-line tools as part of their build or installation workflows. Its main advantage lies in abstracting the common compilation patterns and handling archive extraction, offering a more structured approach than direct `child_process` execution. Given its age and lack of recent updates, it appears to be in a maintenance-only state, with no active development.","language":"javascript","status":"maintenance","version":"3.0.0","tags":["javascript","binary","build","make"],"last_verified":"Wed May 27","install":[{"cmd":"npm install bin-build","imports":["const binBuild = require('bin-build');","const binBuild = require('bin-build');\nbinBuild.url('...', [...]);","const binBuild = require('bin-build');\nbinBuild.file('...', [...]);"]},{"cmd":"yarn add bin-build","imports":[]},{"cmd":"pnpm add bin-build","imports":[]}],"homepage":null,"github":"https://github.com/kevva/bin-build","docs":null,"changelog":null,"pypi":null,"npm":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/bin-build","openapi_spec":null,"status_page":null,"smithery":null,"compatibility":{"summary":{"python_range":"18–22","success_rate":0,"avg_install_s":null,"avg_import_s":null,"wheel_type":null},"url":"https://checklist.day/v1/registry/bin-build/compatibility"}}
