How to compile V8 using Visual Studio 2008 IDE

[SMA]

Dear All,

How can I compile V8 using Visual Studio 2008 IDE, so that I can
understand, update, debug and add V8 engine in my existing solutions.

I have tried to create a Static Library Project is Visual Studio
2008,but failed to build solution in Visual Studio 2008 IDE.

Thanks and regards.

In the directory tools/visual_studio there are Visual Studio 2005 project files, and a readme for how to use them. They should convert to Visual Studion 2008.

Regards,

Søren

Hi,

Could you provide some more details? When I have a clean checkout, open v8.sln, let VS 2008 convert it and build v8_shell (In both Release and Debug) I get no errors.

Regards,

Søren

Yeah, when I tried it on my office PC  the v8.sln  complied without any errors, however when I try it at home I get errors as mentioned in my previous post.
