Difficulties building on Windows with Visual Studio

[Michael Collins]

I have an earlier version of v8 integrated with my product. I'm trying to bring it up to date with the latest version.

I followed the instructions on the wiki for downloading the source code and the dependencies. When I run the build step, it's failing on 17 of the projects with the following error:

C:\Projects\v8\v8\src/heap/spaces.h(2492): error C2220: warning treated as error - no 'object' file generated (compiling source file ..\..\src\allocation-site-scopes.cc) [C:\Projects\v8\v8\tools\gyp\v8_base_0.vcxproj]

 

I'm building using Visual Studio 2015 RC. I figured that this was needed because of errors that I saw when trying to build against VS2013.

Can anyone help me with resolving these errors?

Thank you.

Additionally, I'm seeing tons of warnings in the build output about reinterpret_cast:

C:\Projects\v8\v8\src/heap/spaces.h(2492): warning C4312: 'reinterpret_cast': conversion from 'uint32_t' to 'v8::internal::Address' of greater size (compiling source file ..\..\src\allocation-site-scopes.cc) [C:\Projects\v8\v8\tools\gyp\v8_base_0.vcxproj]

The target type appears to be either "void *" or "v8::internal::Address" in most cases.

I'm also building for x64. I forgot to mention that earlier. I'll try the 32-bit build to see if that reports the same errors.

FWIW, you should be able to build with VS 2013.

As to the build error you are seeing, can you post the full build log?
I suspect that the real error is somewhere else.

Any luck with resolving this?  I just started trying to build v8 with VS 2015 RC also - same issues as you - warnings as errors everywhere.

Not yet. I tried 2013 and 2015. It won't build with the 2013 tools. I haven't had the time to go back and try it again though.
