| This directory contains the V8 GYP files used to generate actual project files |
| for different build systems. |
| |
| This is currently work in progress but this is expected to replace the SCons |
| based build system. |
| |
| To use this a checkout of GYP is needed inside this directory. From the root of |
| the V8 project do the following: |
| |
| $ svn co http://gyp.googlecode.com/svn/trunk build/gyp |
| |
| Note for the command lines below that Debug is the default configuration, |
| so specifying that on the command lines is not required. |
| |
| |
| To generate Makefiles on Linux: |
| ------------------------------- |
| |
| $ build/gyp_v8 |
| |
| This will build makefiles for ia32, x64 and the ARM simulator with names |
| Makefile-ia32, Makefile-x64 and Makefile-armu respectively. |
| |
| To build and run for ia32 in debug and release version do: |
| |
| $ make -f Makefile-ia32 |
| $ out/Debug/shell |
| $ make -f Makefile-ia32 BUILDTYPE=Release |
| $ out/Release/shell |
| |
| Change the makefile to build and run for the other architectures. |
| |
| |
| To generate Xcode project files on Mac OS: |
| ------------------------------------------ |
| |
| $ build/gyp_v8 |
| |
| This will make an Xcode project for the ia32 architecture. To build and run do: |
| |
| $ xcodebuild -project build/all.xcodeproj |
| $ samples/build/Debug/shell |
| $ xcodebuild -project build/all.xcodeproj -configuration Release |
| $ samples/build/Release/shell |
| |
| |
| To generate Visual Studio solution and project files on Windows: |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| On Windows an additional third party component is required. This is cygwin in |
| the same version as is used by the Chromium project. This can be checked out |
| from the Chromium repository. From the root of the V8 project do the following: |
| |
| > svn co http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/deps/third_party/cygwin@66844 third_party/cygwin |
| |
| To run GYP Python is required and it is recommended to use the same version as |
| is used by the Chromium project. This can also be checked out from the Chromium |
| repository. From the root of the V8 project do the following: |
| |
| > svn co http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/tools/third_party/python_26@89111 third_party/python_26 |
| |
| Now generate Visual Studio solution and project files for the ia32 architecture: |
| |
| > third_party\python_26\python build/gyp_v8 |
| |
| Now open build\All.sln in Visual Studio. |
