build: build opt to set local location of headers

Open mhdawson opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Some linux distroes install headers through their package managers. When headers are locally installed we'd like them to be used.

Add a build time configuration option --use-prefix-to-find-headers that will will suggest to node-gyp to look for headers based on the prefix

A PR to node-gyp will use this value when building addons to automatially find and use the headers if they have been installed locally
