Cant build V8 with GYP successfully on Mac OSX

I followed V8 Build Instructions from here

Here are the steps that I'm following to build V8 on Mac OSX.

1. git clone git://github.com/v8/v8.git v8-src && cd v8-src
2. make dependencies
3. make x64 -j8 library=shared snapshot=on console=readline

But I do not see out/x64.release/obj.target/tools/gyp/libv8_base.x64.a (or snapshot.a)

The Folder only contains js2c.stamp

Here is the Gist: Build Output

What am I doing wrong ..

Solution

  • Ok, the documentation specifies the location for Linux Machines. For Mac OSX, these files are here :

    out/x64.release/libv8_base.x64.a (& snapshot.a)

    Finally, compile your C++ Module, by linking V8, as below:

    g++ -Iinclude test.cc -o test out/x64.release/libv8_{base.x64,snapshot}.a -lpthread
