Sharp is not working with "Bun build --compile"

[buzzy]

When compiling a binary using "Bun build --compile", it seems that the resulting binary does not contain the "binary" of Sharp. It still tries to load it from ./node_modules. If I copy the node_modules directory together with the resulting binary from "Bun build", it runs without issues. I am not sure if this is an issue with "Bun build" or with Sharp, but other node-related binaries from node_modules are working for me.

It's very unlikely that bun build --compile will work with sharp as it attempts to create a single executable, however sharp and libvips are provided as shared dynamic libraries.

Well, so does sqlite, but that works with Bun. I am not talking about the built in version, but the node module. Bun embeds the lib into the binary on --compile

Bun provides its own sqlite implementation that does not depend on 3rd party shared libraries so it's not quite the same thing.

My previous advice to people attempting to do something similar with deno compile is to experiment with WebAssembly - please see #3912 (comment)

Like I wrote in the earlier post; I am not talking about the built-in sqlite library. I am talking about the node-lib of sqlite that also works with Bun. Any case, I now understand the issue. I have opened an issue with the Bun team so that they can include the dynamic lib inside the binary. Thanks!

I patched sharp.js to force the Wasm library to load but, upon invocation, my program froze.

'use strict';
module.exports = require('@img/sharp-wasm32/sharp.node')

Do you know how should I debug this?

Thanks.

I got this working as a sort of experiment previously and can probably be done even easier now, with very recent improvements in https://bun.sh/docs/bundler/executables#embed-assets-files. As the sharp .node addon builds fine, the snag is in the libvips dll/so library. After @lovell answered #4023 it was clear the path for now was doing some imports/scripting to make those files embedded in the binary, and then update the reference from sharp.
