rebuild: Failed Rebuilding canvas: error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: class std::shared_ptr __cdecl v8::ArrayBuffer::GetBackingStore(void)"

Well, I have a dead simple Electron app with only canvas and nan as dependencies alongside electron and react, running on a Windows 11 (21H2) machine.

What I’m trying to do is to rebuild canvas for electron using electron-rebuild. However, It’s failing with the following error :

What I was doing

After running npm i I ran npm run rebuild which delegates to electron-rebuild -f -w canvas, and the error showed up along with some other warnings

What I was expecting

canvas to be built correctly to the correct version of electron I’m using, for this error to stop ruining my business.

Waiting for your reply.

P.S. This is how the executon of electron-rebuild looks like on Git Bash / CMD on windows (also the same applies for electron-rebuild.cmd)
