title: Distribution of node js module
body: <p>I used the steps explained in this page: <a href="http://nodejs.org/api/addons.html" rel="nofollow">http://nodejs.org/api/addons.html</a> and successfully created a addon.node file using the node-gyp tool. it works fine and it's a wrapper of a c++ static library.</p>
  
  <p>Now I want to distribute this, I created the package.json file using:</p>
  
  <p>npm init</p>
  
  <p>and test it using "npm install . -g" but it tries to recompile the module which will be difficult to achieve because it will require the libraries that I'm embedding into the .node file, is it possible to distribute the .node file that I already compiled in my system?</p>
  
  <p>How can I include the compiled .node file into the npm package and upload it to the npm registry. I'm sure I'm just one step to made it, but I dont know where to start.</p>
  
  <p>I read about the dependencies, but seems that it's suited when your module depends on other modules, and not with your own .node file.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your help.</p>
