I followed the steps on building V8 at https://v8.dev/docs/build and
https://v8.dev/docs/source-code, but I'm using FreeBSD and so CIPD isn't
supported on FreeBSD. That's a huge problem because i prevents me from
building V8 at all. Not to mention it limits me to Python 2.7 when I want
to use Python 3.7 for the build process. Ah well.
Anyway, I run:
git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git
Cloning into 'depot_tools'...
remote: Sending approximately 22.24 MiB ...
remote: Total 29246 (delta 20781), reused 29246 (delta 20781)
Receiving objects: 100% (29246/29246), 22.18 MiB | 13.86 MiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (20781/20781), done.
I then create a v8 path, set pyenv to use python 2.7.15, link v8 into my
path, and run gclient and fetch:
$ gclient
CIPD not supported on freebsd
WARNING: Your metrics.cfg file was invalid or nonexistent. A new one will
be created.
Usage: gclient.py <command> [options]
Meta checkout dependency manager for Git.
Commands are:
config creates a .gclient file in the current directory
diff displays local diff for every dependencies
fetch fetches upstream commits for all modules
flatten flattens the solutions into a single DEPS file
getdep gets revision information and variable values from a DEPS file
grep greps through git repos managed by gclient
help prints list of commands or help for a specific command
metrics reports, and optionally modifies, the status of metric collection
pack generates a patch which can be applied at the root of the tree
recurse operates [command args ...] on all the dependencies
revert reverts all modifications in every dependencies
revinfo outputs revision info mapping for the client and its dependencies
root outputs the solution root (or current dir if there isn't one)
runhooks runs hooks for files that have been modified in the local
working copy
setdep modifies dependency revisions and variable values in a DEPS file
status shows modification status for every dependencies
sync checkout/update all modules
validate validates the .gclient and DEPS syntax
verify verifies the DEPS file deps are only from allowed_hosts
Options:
--version show program's version number and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-j JOBS, --jobs=JOBS Specify how many SCM commands can run in parallel;
defaults to 8 on this machine
-v, --verbose Produces additional output for diagnostics. Can be
used up to three times for more logging info.
--gclientfile=CONFIG_FILENAME
Specify an alternate .gclient file
--spec=SPEC create a gclient file containing the provided
string.
Due to Cygwin/Python brokenness, it can't contain
any
newlines.
--no-nag-max Ignored for backwards compatibility.

So, not only is CIPD unavailable for FreeBSD (and I can't find the source
code for it), but gclient apparently doesn't support my OS. And I have no
idea if I can build V8 anyway, even if fetch v8 fails at this point. Oh,
and I can't forget to mention that gn doesn't work, either. So is there any
way around this? Because I wanted to embed V8 into my project, but this is
really starting to disappoint me. I've heard great things about it, I've
used it in Node.JS, and yet I can't build it to embed it because the build
system is so convoluted. What happened to the old CMake/make combo that
works so well? What happened to autoconf? Or any of the other good build
systems that do work on pretty much all OSes? I don't mean to be overly
rude but this is ridiculous.
