Building with node-gyp
binding.gyp supports buidling with the local copy of librdkafka in
deps/librdkafka, or on Linux with a globally installed librdkafka binaries and
headers.
Building with the local copy of librdkafka is the default. Just do
git submodule update --init
node-gyp configure
node-gyp build
To build against a globally installed librdkafka (e.g. one installed with .deb packages), do
node-gyp configure --BUILD_LIBRDKAKFA=0
node-gyp build
