V8 with Visual Studio

[Jan Berger]

Hi,

 

I downloaded a version of v8 some time ago that compiles fine with Visual Studio 2008 and 2010

 

But, as I checked the last version out it seems that it don’t support project files anymore?

 

Have anyone compiled the latest version with visual studio 2008 or 2010?

Now you have to use GYP http://code.google.com/p/gyp/ to generate your project file

Does a pre-made GYP script for Visual Studio v8 exist?

Not difficult to build it yourself

~/gyp$ setup.py build install

After you install, you can follow the step in README. 

http://code.google.com/p/v8/source/browse/trunk/build/README.txt

However, it doesn't seem to be well maintained. It expects certain third party files to be in certain location. YMMV

I was able to build with Python & scons with 2010 no problem

Hi,
I am trying to build the "All" solution file for x64
Visual Studio 2008 express edition.

The command line I tried to build the sln file is
---------------------------------------------------------------------
third_party\python_26\python build/gyp_v8 -Dtarget_arch=x64
---------------------------------------------------------------------
but w/o luck... the solution file produces win32 version
and there is no report of errors nor warnings
while building solution file.

I am using an old project file to generate binaries under x64,
but really want to use the reccomended procedure
to build the binaries.

I will really appreciate any help in the command line
I must execute to build a working solution file
to build samples for x64 under VS 2008 express.

thanks in advance,
Ale.

Noone here building V8 for x64 with Visual Studio 2008 Express?
If you have succeded to build projects to generate samples executable
for 64bits windows from gyp files... please confirm that it worked for you.
only one line and/or hint about how to build solution file for win 64
will be appreciated,
Ale.
