Recommendations
  1. Before installing this package, install depot-tools-git and follow its instructions.

  2. To speed-up compilation, build on tmpfs and disable tests:

BUILDDIR=/tmp/makepkg makepkg --nocheck

Or using yay:

BUILDDIR=/tmp/makepkg yay -S --mflags --nocheck v8

is it just me or is the not being build libv8_platform.so? it seems to be missing.

Latest cherry-pick. Fixed missing libv8.so, Switched to host clang.

@dflemstr Yeah, the docs for GN and V8 are still lacking a bit. Now I'm using v8-5.2 but I'll have to switch to the latest V8 version very, very soon. So I'll have to work my way through GN. Also testing a build is kinda time consuming I would like to have a 36 cores Xeon beast ;)

dflemstr commented on 2016-09-04 16:15 (UTC)

Hmm... When I build this, it doesn't actually produce a libv8.so file any more, so this line fails: install -Dm755 out.gn/x64.release/libv8.so $pkgdir/usr/lib/v8/libv8.so Also, it would be nice to get static libraries being built again but I understand that that's tricky when using GN?

@MagiCarbon try with v8-5.2 has all the libs now.

sorry, i was wrong. i've asked the author of php-v8js, he said it does support the latest v8. sorry for all confusion. and the error below occurred because this package lost 'libv8.so', not the v8 version. configure: error: could not determine libv8 version

@r0qs Gyp is deprecated now for building v8, I switched to GN. So I guess compilation should work next time you try. @MagiCarbon (and others) Because seems that some people need v8 5.2 for phpjs (But Why ? http://i.imgur.com/TnQRX6v.gif ;) ) I've added a new package called v8-5.2 which still uses Gyp and it should generate all the libs necessary for phpjs.

Hi, I'm getting this error during compile: ==> Starting build()... -> Running gyp... Updating projects from gyp files... -> Start building... ninja: Entering directory `out/Release' ninja: error: '../../third_party/WebKit/Source/platform/inspector_protocol/DispatcherBase.cpp', needed by 'obj/third_party/WebKit/Source/platform/inspector_protocol/inspector_protocol.DispatcherBase.o', missing and no known rule to make it ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting... Anyone knows how to solve?

You can simply clone the package and set pkgver=5.2.361.49. If that version works with php-v8js you should upload a package with the name: v8-5.2.361.49
