How Build From Source On Nodejs 20.12.2 - Possible Fixes

[jangaza]

This is a possible fix for anyone having same issues with building from source as me:

1. ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED error

PS C:\Users\\soundboard> yarn build
yarn run v1.22.19
warning ..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\package.json: No license field
$ react-scripts build && yarn compile
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:597
      throw e;
      ^

Error [ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED]: Package subpath './lib/tokenize' is not defined by "exports" in C:\Users\\soundboard\node_modules\postcss-safe-parser\node_modules\postcss\package.json

    at Module._compile (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1369:14) {
  code: 'ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED'
}

2. ERR_OSSL_EVP_UNSUPPORTED error

3. After successfully running all commands in README:
   

Step-by-step how to fix these errors (some of then are not nessesery!):

install newest nodejs and yarn
open powershell
git clone https://github.com/LoredCast/soundboard.git
cd soundboard
open package.json and remove all ^ in "dependencies" and "devDependencies"
yarn policies set-version 1.22.19
$env:NODE_OPTIONS="--openssl-legacy-provider"
yarn install
$env:NODE_OPTIONS="--openssl-legacy-provider"
yarn build - error
delete node_modules and yarn.lock
yarn install
yarn build
yarn electron-build
and should work now!

I have no idea what exactly fixed it, but this is summary of my tinkering around.

This has to do with the fact that this app uses an old node version (16), newer node versions have a different ssl api and will not build this project. Thank you for your fix! This app needs to be substantially updated in the future though!
