Cause (Documented platform behavior): Package ships prebuilds only for some platforms/ABIs; install scripts that would compile a fallback were skipped (--ignore-scripts, pnpm onlyBuiltDependencies) or failed; bundlers relocate the code so 'loaded from' points to the bundle dir.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Source-derived; not reproduced.
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://registry.npmjs.org/node-gyp-build/-/node-gyp-build-4.8.4.tgz#package/node-gyp-build.js (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Resolves build/Release, build/Debug, prebuilds/<platform>-<arch> in dir (overridable via <NAME>_PREBUILD env) and next to process.execPath; otherwise throws 'No native build was found for platform=... arch=... runtime=... abi=... uv=... libc=... node=... [electron=] [webpack=true]' with 'loaded from: <dir>'.
Search phrasings: No native build was found for platform=linux arch=arm64; node-gyp-build No native build was found webpack=true; bufferutil No native build was found alpine
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Runtime Error listing platform/arch/runtime/abi/uv/libc/node (and electron/webpack flags) plus the directory searched.
- Context
- Product: node-gyp-build Component: native binding resolution Operation: require() of a prebuildify/node-gyp-build based addon in Docker (Alpine/arm64), serverless bundles, or installs run with --ignore-scripts Affected versions: unknown Environment: Alpine/musl, arm/arm64, new Node ABIs, bundled apps (webpack/esbuild/Electron asar) Packages: node-gyp-build 4.8.4 Trigger: No build/Release|Debug binary and no matching prebuilds/<platform>-<arch> tuple in the package directory (or next to the executable).

Recommended action: Read the target tuple: if the platform/libc/ABI has no prebuild, allow the package's install script to build (toolchain needed) or pick a supported base image/Node version; for bundlers mark the package external and ship node_modules; <NAME>_PREBUILD env var can point at a prebuild directory.
