Seems like your correct about the tutorial being for Linux, I just assumed that it would be the same for OSX since they are both *nix systems, thats my fault. I however would wish that there also was a Windows and OSX version of the tutorial.
Seems like there was a binary in ./out/x64.release/hello-world just as you said. So even if the tutorial was for Linux I guess it worked on OSX? I'd wished that this made me any wiser, but how am I supposed to link this against my own application? I mean, I guess I could just change the hello_world example and keep my whole application in that file, but I guess thats not the best way to develop C++ applications while embedding V8. What I would like to do is in some way build something that I could link against my application. How would I go about doing that? Normally for other libraries you could download the header files and some pre-build libraries for your platform. Since I can't find this option for V8 I'm guessing you have to build from source. Running "make x64.release" worked and I was able to run the hello_world example, so I guess building works. Now how would link against this on OSX? I'm at a bit of a loss, since the example is for Linux and there are no example for OSX.
