bsb(-not-native) support

[seethroughdev]

I'm sure this has been a discussed issue at some point. But it would be useful to publish this module to npm.

Currently installation works with the example repo, but not with reason-scripts or bsb.

I get the following errors when trying to build with a clean installation, no changed code, and only adding schmavery/reprocessing to npm, and Reprocessing to bsconfig.json:

If other people are also getting these errors, it might discourage new users from adding it to their existing projects.

Exactly the same issue. Tried bsb-native after that, but latest also didn't want to install.

[Schmavery]

sorry all, working on it. Publishing to npm is def something I want to do very soon

Oh sorry, I didn't realize you were trying to install this using bsb. We currently only support bsb-native as a build tool. Maybe if we get bsb to pass BSB_BACKEND variable it can work... mhh we'd also need the logic that choosing whether or not to build files depending on backend.

As far as npm goes, I was trying to get one or two things cleaned up first but I can probably just publish something in the meantime.

bsb-native#2.1.1 should work (that's what we have under CI), though I'm sure @bsansouci would be interested in hearing about your issues building bsb-native master.

[seethroughdev]

ah, well that solves it for my problem. i'll keep an ear out in case support gets added. thanks!

Hmm this had me stumped for a while until I found this. Rather than cloning I set up from scratch with the idea of learning more, but hit this issue.

[bsansouci]

Sorry for the trouble! We're working on fixing this actually. Hopefully we'll have good news soon.

[yunti]

No need to apologize, thanks for all your work on it. :) Look forward to hearing more when it's ready.

[bukzor]

Any news? I have the same story as @yunti.
