Change Details

Problem === npm commands fail on most kartotherian projects. For example, ``` cd kartotherian/packages/snapshot npm install ``` Result: > ... (much compiling ensues) > ../src/mapnik_vector_tile.hpp:11:37: fatal error: vector_tile_merc_tile.hpp: No such file or directory > compilation terminated. > mapnik.target.mk:240: recipe for target 'Release/obj.target/mapnik/src/node_mapnik.o' failed > make: *** [Release/obj.target/mapnik/src/node_mapnik.o] Error 1 > make: Leaving directory '/srv/kartotherian/packages/snapshot/node_modules/@kartotherian/mapnik/build' The error changes every time. I've tried a lot of things with no success. Ideally, we can make mapnik build reliably, but many have tried and perished on this quest. As a last resort, we might upgrade mapnik and its library from upstream, see for example T210815. This might give us access to the precompiled node-gyp binaries. Implementation === We found that the forked mapnik's node-gyp-pre settings could be manipulated such that it behaved like the magic `--build-from-source` npm client flag is passed everywhere. This lets us simplify away that detail from our client usages. [x] https://github.com/kartotherian/node-mapnik/pull/2 - Always build mapnik from source. [x] https://github.com/kartotherian/abaculus/pull/5 - Upgrade mapnik in abaculus. [x] https://github.com/kartotherian/tilelive-bridge/pull/2 - Upgrade mapnik in tilelive-bridge. [x] https://github.com/kartotherian/node-blend/pull/2 - Upgrade mapnik in node-blend.
