Dear all,
currently, I am experiencing problems building v8 as a static library on Windows within a developer command prompt for VS 2022.
is_debug = false
target_cpu = "x86"
v8_monolithic = true
v8_optimized_debug = false
is_component_build = false
v8_static_library = true
use_custom_libcxx = false
use_custom_libcxx_for_host = false
treat_warnings_as_errors = false
v8_enable_i18n_support = false
v8_use_external_startup_data = false
I get the following error:
FAILED: obj/v8_heap_base_headers.lib
..\..\third_party\llvm-build\Release+Asserts\bin\lld-link.exe /lib
/OUT:obj/v8_heap_base_headers.lib /nologo /WX /ignore:4221
/llvmlibthin @obj/v8_heap_base_headers.lib.rsp
warning: no input files, not writing output file
pass /llvmlibempty to write empty .lib file,
pass /ignore:emptyoutput to suppress warning
treating warning as error due to /WX
lld-link: error: lib failed
When I add
fatal_linker_warnings = false
I get, later in the build process,
[1743/2146] LINK v8_heap_base_unittests.exe v8_heap_base_unittests.exe.pdb

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.
How can I get a monolithic static v8 library on Windows? The last time I did this is about 2 years ago, with the then current version of the v8 source, and then it worked without any problems. What am I doing wrong?
Any help is most appreciated.
Best regards,
Johannes
