v8.lib and v8.dll missing

[Mohammad Ashiqur Rahaman]

Hi All,

I have downloaded and built the sources with gyp. When building the all solution i do not see any v8.dll or v8.lib file. rather i v8.obj file. I also see files in the folder v8\build\Debug\lib as follows:

preparser_lib.lib

v8_base.lib

v8_nosnapshot.lib

v8_snapshot.lib

now i am still not able to build the helloworld example in vs studio 10. I get fatal LINK error when I put the above mentioned lib files in the configuration -> Linker -> Input !!!

Can anyone help??

Best,

Riyadh

I suspect that what you want is a shared library build of V8. Simply add library=shared as option when building with gyp.

As Yang said, when you want a v8.dll, you need to build a shared library.

You should be able to link against static libraries too. It's expected that there's no v8.lib; you should link against v8_base.lib and v8_snapshot.lib.
