Fails to compile on openSUSE LEAP 15 (../deps/build/lib/libsodium.a: No such file or directory )

openSUSE LEAP 15 node v10.14.1

libsodium 1.0.16 (https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium/releases) compiles fine, no problems.

However, add "sodium": "^3" to package.json and run npm update (npm cache clean -f has no effect):

I'm getting the same error with a discord.js bot, ending pretty much at the same spot as yours.

[rawr51919]

OK, @udf2457, try globally installing libsodium-wrappers using npm -i -g libsodium-wrappers, then retry sodium compilation. It should help with your issue.

[lbeltrame]

Posting after a year due to the same issue: It doesn't work, because it looks in "lib" while the static libsodium is installed in "lib64" in the build directory.

[rawr51919]

Should be a minor fix, then. Just have it look in lib64 instead of lib @lbeltrame

[lbeltrame]

That's what I'm trying to do at this point. Will report back.

Note that lib is hardcoded in the sources, so it requires manual modifications.

[rawr51919]

Would be PR-worthy, then.

[lbeltrame]

Probably, although I patched 2.0.3 because that's what a discord lib I used wanted.

[rawr51919]

The opposite could also work (using lib instead of lib64). Whichever is easier
