Builder v8 as a static library for Android

[Diep Nguyen Hoang]

Hi, currently I'm trying to build v8 as a static library on Android.

I have successfully finished build command, and have libv8_base.arm.a, libv8_nosnapshot.arm.a, libv8_snapshot.a already. But when I put them into my project and compile, these .a file seems to be directly linked to the .o files, which are result of v8 building. I also notice that, size of these .a files is too small (about 1MB), and contains no object file but the absolute path to object file (using $ cat).

What I want is static library must contains all object files, not map to them, so I can push them to repository, is this right? I used default build command (make android_arm.release, OS: Ubuntu 12 and OS X). Now because the .a files just contain the paths, not objects themself, my project build command is failed.

Please help,

Thanks,

GYP builds thin archives by default on platforms that support it (the
GNU toolchain on Linux does, don't think OS X does.) You can disable
it by setting standalone_static_library: 1 in the *.gyp file that
builds the static library, e.g.:

'targets': [{
'target_name': 'foo',
'type': 'static_library',
'standalone_static_library': 1,
'sources': [ ... ]
}]

Good luck.

I have edited my android.gypi like this:

['_type=="static_library"', {

            'ldflags': [

              # Don't export symbols from statically linked libraries.

              '-Wl,--exclude-libs=ALL',

            ],

    'standalone_static_library': 1, 

          }],

And it does not work, my output still 3MB libv8_base.arm.a with bunch of object file which do not merged into .a file.

Have you try using GN to build the libraries? I have issue linking with android code. Do you have instruction on include these v8 libraries into a Android project?

add  v8_static_library = true to gn.args will be worked.
