prebuilt demo not working when building for electron

[addlistener]

The prebuilt/demo works locally on my mac. However when I yarn add ../path/to/addon to another project and run electron-builder it failed

Use node16.16.0 and electron 19.0.9

After I upgraded the dep to
"@mapbox/node-pre-gyp": "^1.0.10",

The build is working.

However on windows the import failed. It says it's not a valid win32 application.

Tested on a virtualbox win 10 and native win7. The error messages are the same.

My code is dead simple and it works on mac electron build.

import rt from 'native_rt';
console.log(rt.now());

And I can see that node-sqlite3 has a similar build process so it should work?
