Creating and V8 binding in Visual Studio

Question

It is very difficult to try to figure out how to create a Google V8 in Windows.

So far, I:

• installed depot_tools
• Joined v8: fetch v8
• Create a project file: gn gen --ide=vs2015 out/Default
• Built the entire solution in VS2015

My problem is that this leads to the creation of a large number of files .obj files and .lib .

I installed projects (v8, v8_base, v8_libbase, etc.) in Configuration type: Static library (.lib) :

I'm not sure how to get Visual Studio to generate a library of files. Any help appreciated!

Update

I managed to create library files by performing the following steps:

• Open a command prompt VS Developer.
• Navigate to the directory containing the files for obj v8_base , v8_libbase , v8_external_snapshot and v8_libplatform .
• For each of them to create a .lib manually using the command lib , for example. lib /o:v8_base *.obj
• Copy all the files in the lib directory with icui18n.lib and icuuc.lib (they were created perfectly at build time.)

Now I'm trying to use the library and have a new problem that would really like to help me. I tied the following libraries in the VS: v8_base.lib; v8_libbase.lib; v8_external_snapshot.lib; v8_libplatform.lib; icui18n.lib; icuuc.lib; winmm.lib; v8_base.lib; v8_libbase.lib; v8_external_snapshot.lib; v8_libplatform.lib; icui18n.lib; icuuc.lib; winmm.lib; But I have a problem with a number of unresolved symbols:

All error seems related to v8::sampler - any help is evaluated again!

Answer 1

And it seems that I again answer to your question. I hope that the information I have listed in question, will be useful for anyone who is struggling with an outdated documentation, such as myself.

My update includes everything you need except for the fact that I did not even notice the project v8_libsampler and forgot to create for him a library file. As soon as I did it, and tied, I started to work!

Answer 2

In the same way as you, I tried to set different settings for creating lib. And here are my steps:

• After gn gen run gn args out / Default, uncomment is_component_build, I think the equivalent component = shared_library.
• While I also have a problem with the failure in all.sln vs .net, I realized that msbuild can give me some dll / lib files.

Good luck.

Answer 3

I made a similar configuration, but for VS2013 and running ninja to create a whole. Build me a DLL created a set, including v8.dll, with which I fully agree.
