I'm trying to bundle a simple node program that includes some native modules. One of these modules is level witch includes leveldown.

When trying to use pkg to build I receive the following error.

pkg . --targets linux-x64 --no-bytecode --public-packages "*" --output linprog

> Warning Cannot include directory %1 into executable.
  The directory must be distributed with executable as %2.
  %1: node_modules/leveldown/prebuilds
  %2: path-to-executable/prebuilds
> Warning Cannot include directory %1 into executable.
  The directory must be distributed with executable as %2.
  %1: node_modules/leveldown/prebuilds
  %2: path-to-executable/prebuilds

The built executable works if I include the prebuilds with it.

Now as far as I know, pkg should detect and include these native modules properly now. So I shouldn't need to include these manually. Is there any reason why this isn't working?

When I try to add the files as an asset in the package.json with:

"pkg": {
    "assets": [
      "node_modules/leveldown/**/*",
    ]
  }

I can confirm the files are being added when I check the log with the --debug flag.

The odd thing is, this project also includes utp-native witch seems to be bundled just fine.
