I want to compile a static v8 build to use on an embedded device.
The company that creates the device has given us a cross-compiler based on cygwin (the device uses a Linux-based OS), so that we can write and compile code on the windows platform, before transfering it to the device.
All tutorials I have seen for compiling V8 compiles on an arm system (like scratchbox) unless they are targeting the arm simulator. Would it be technically possible to just compile V8 as if I was compiling it for windows, only using the custom cygwin compiler that we ourselves use for compiling?
Apperantly, the provided cygwin compiler really was custom tailored for our devices. They even removed the math.h library, and added custom malloc/free as well as io functions. After a lot of effort, I managed to get a modified version of Lua to run on our platform, and I guess that's as good as it gets. Lua wins!
