I'm trying to build the 6.6 branch tip for WIndows. After installing depot_tools, I run the following commands in a Visual Studio 2017 prompt:
set DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN=0
gclient sync -r 6.6.346.24
cd v8
gn gen out --args="is_debug=false v8_use_snapshot=true v8_use_external_startup_data=false v8_enable_i18n_support=false"
ninja -C out
Everything goes well until the final step, where the LINK tasks fail to resolve the Win32 entry points. Partial output:
>ninja -C out
ninja: Entering directory `out'
