Thanks a lot Gautham, Ben! Looks like exactly what I need. Being a complete C++/CMake newbie, I can't get the project to build to correctly though.
Here's the error message I receive when I do cmake .. CMake Error at FindV8.cmake:40 (MESSAGE): Can't build v8inspector without V8 Call Stack (most recent call first): CMakeLists.txt:15 (INCLUDE) -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! See also "/Users/joe-2744/v8/v8inspector/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log". I've cloned v8 source in a directory from which I build v8. I've cloned https://github.com/hsharsha/v8inspector in a separate directory and I'm trying to execute cmake. Is there a way to tell FindV8.cmake, where to look for v8 header files and libs in my system?
