Usage from Deno: Cannot find module '../build/Release/stoolap.node

[sleepycat]

Following up on this comment from #2
I tried the latest version (0.3.7) with Deno and got the following error:

$ deno

The problem was that Deno blocks npm lifecycle scripts by default for security. The package's install script (which runs node-gyp rebuild) was silently skipped:

Warning: Ignored build scripts for packages:
npm:@stoolap/node@0.3.7

Even deno install --allow-scripts didn't fully trigger the build in this case, so we had to run npx node-gyp rebuild manually inside the package directory to compile that .node addon.

cd /home/mike/.cache/deno/npm/registry.npmjs.org/@stoolap/node && npx node-gyp rebuild

Ahh, of course. So, fixing that leaves me with the error I saw in #5

I guess the good news is that it appears deno isn't a problem!

Sorry for my rush, linux doesn't have alloca in scope by default, needs #include <alloca.h> in stoolap.c I will fix and release with v0.4.0 soon.
