I have been struggling for a couple of days to get the correct incantations to get a build of v8 working on windows 10 with visual studio 2015.
In short the steps that i've been attempting are as follows - set DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN=0 - set GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2015 - set GYP_GENERATORS=msvs-ninja,ninja - Get depot tools from: wget https://storage.googleapis.com/chrome-infra/depot_tools.zip -OutFile depot_tools.zip - Expand Archive: Expand-Archive .\depot_tools.zip -dest depot_tools - Set the path for depot tools - Checkout the v8 source code by running: fetch v8 - Change directory to /v8 and checkout 5.2: git checkout branch-heads/5.2 - Run sync so that all the dependencies are up to date with the branch: gclient sync - To generate the project files run: third_party/python_26/python.exe build\gyp_v8 -Dtarget_arch=x64 - To build: : "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.com" /build Release gypfiles\All.sln I am running into all kinds of issues related with the build and after running the last command it ends with The first occurrence of the error is 1> ninja -t msvc -e environment.x64 -- "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\amd64\cl.exe" /nologo /showIncludes /FC @obj\ third_party\icu\source\i18n\icui18n.collationkeys.obj.rsp /c..\..\ third_party\icu\source\i18n\collationkeys.cpp /Foobj\third_party\icu\source\ i18n\icui18n.collationkeys.obj /Fdobj\third_party\icu\icui18n.cc.pdb 1>C:\source\v8build\v8\third_party\icu\source\i18n\collationkeys.cpp : fatal error C1083: Cannot open compiler generated file: 'C:\source\v8build\v8\out\Release_x64\obj\third_party\icu\source\i18n\icui18n.collationkeys.obj' : Permission denied I am not sure why i'm getting a permission denied. the build then ends with 40> ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed. 40>ninja : warning : premature end of file; recovering 40>C:\source\v8build\v8\test\fuzzer\wasm_fuzzer.vcxproj(334,5): error MSB3073: The command "call ninja.exe -C ..\..\out\Release_x64\ wasm_fuzzer" exited with code 1. ..\..\out\Release_x64\ wasm_fuzzer" exited with code 1. ========== Build: 20 succeeded, 21 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ========== Any help would be much appreciated -- -- v8-users mailing list v8-users@googlegroups.com http://groups.google.com/group/v8-users --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "v8-users" group.
