Build issues but working in as package.

[Universal-Invariant]

I'd like to outline what I did to get this to work since ffi-napi was crashing on import. I tried to follow the build instructions(I'm pretty new at this) but there are some missing issues. Specifically npm i koffi gave an error about it missing in the registry: [I spend a lot of time on ffi-napi trying to setup some generate binding generators only to find out it wouldn't work ;/ I should have tried something simpler.

1. Try installing using npm:

Specifically, but note that I tried various versions and the dev was my build,
npm install koffi
npm ERR! code E404
npm ERR! 404 Not Found - GET https://registry.npmjs.org/@types%2fkoffi - Not found
npm ERR! 404
npm ERR! 404 '@types/koffi@^3.0.0-dev' is not in this registry.
npm ERR! 404
npm ERR! 404 Note that you can also install from a
npm ERR! 404 tarball, folder, http url, or git url.

2. Clone the rygel sources, follow the instructions given by koffi:
   cd src/koffi
   node ../cnoke/cnoke.js

passed

cd src/koffi/test
node ../../cnoke/cnoke.js

node test.js

Fail because "require" is missing. Maybe there is more to it

3. To get it to work in my package since step 1 fails. To do this use npm link while in src/koffi then use npm link koffi in the app dir. It should put koffi in the types dir and it should be accessible using const koffi = require('koffi');

4. I used the following code to test and it worked.

const koffi = require('koffi');

// Load the shared library
const lib = koffi.load('user32.dll');

// Declare constants
const MB_OK = 0x0;
const MB_YESNO = 0x4;
const MB_ICONQUESTION = 0x20;
const MB_ICONINFORMATION = 0x40;
const IDOK = 1;
const IDYES = 6;
const IDNO = 7;

// Find functions
const MessageBoxA = lib.func('__stdcall', 'MessageBoxA', 'int', ['void *', 'str', 'str', 'uint']);
const MessageBoxW = lib.func('__stdcall', 'MessageBoxW', 'int', ['void *', 'str16', 'str16', 'uint']);

let ret = MessageBoxA(null, 'Do you want another message box?', 'Koffi', MB_YESNO | MB_ICONQUESTION);

if (ret == IDYES)
MessageBoxW(null, 'Hello World!', 'Koffi', MB_ICONINFORMATION);
