Using my native node module with Electron

So i have built a simple node demo module that works fine with node.exe but when i try to require it with atom electron as a module it does not work even though it was linked with the exact same version of node that my version of electron uses and it the same machine type (x86) I have tried to use the electron source (node.dll.lib) instead but it I get v8 link errors What is the excepted way to do this?

Severity Code Description Project File Line Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall v8::HandleScope::HandleScope(class v8::Isolate *)" (??0HandleScope@v8@@QAE@PAVIsolate@1@@Z) referenced in function "void __cdecl node::NODE_SET_PROTOTYPE_METHOD(class v8::Local,char const ,void (__cdecl)(class v8::FunctionCallbackInfo const &))" (?NODE_SET_PROTOTYPE_METHOD@node@@YAXV?$Local@VFunctionTemplate@v8@@@v8@@PBDP6AXABV?$FunctionCallbackInfo@VValue@v8@@@3@@Z@Z) nodeaddon c:\src\justin\nodeaddon\nodeaddon\myobject.obj 1

I ended up setting changing my linker and compiler paths to point to the electron as apposed to the node source source and at all works now.

According to the docs you'd need to rebuild electron with you native module. The easiest way is to use electron-rebuild, which the team provides.
