custom control to read USB cardreader - error on pkcs11 module

Dear,

I am trying to build a simple PCF control to read data (firstname, lastname,...) from an USB cardreader.

I haved been able to create a stand-alone nodejs application that reads the data from a card using the following library:

kolllor33/eid-lib: An eid library for interacting with the belgian eid middelware for nodejs (github.com)

var http = require("http");
http.createServer(function (request, response) {
 const CardReader = require("eid-lib");
 const cardReader = new CardReader("beidpkcs11.dll");
 var slots = (cardReader.GetSlotList(true));
 var session = cardReader.CreateSession(slots[1]);
 slots.forEach(element => {
 console.log(cardReader.GetNationalNumber() );
 console.log(cardReader.GetFullName());
 });
 cardReader.Finalize();
}).listen(8081);
console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8081/');

However, I am now trying to do the same in a PCF control, but when trying to build the control, I get a lot of errors about the used library pkcs11.node
