How do I build 32-bit binaries on a 64-bit system using npm?
Add a file in your project root called .npmrc Windows explorer doesn't allow creation of a file name starting with a dot, but this can be done on windows command line like this:
type NUL > .npmrc
Then add the following line to the file:
npm_config_arch=ia32
You may also want to put this line in there to force VS build version, since some packages want to use non-installed versions. Replace 2013 with your version of Visual Studio if different (2012, etc):
msvs_version=2013
You should be able to clone the repo into node_modules yourself and compile it manually using
node-gyp clean configure build --verbose --arch=ia32
inside the directory where you cloned the repo.
