Chromium's depot_tools do not work on FreeBSD which causes the build of v8 6. 8000 2+ to fail #253
Comments
Are there any plans to fix latest libv8 versions under FreeBSD? |
Having the same issue when trying to install libv8 6.3 |
There are no binary gems for freebsd after version 6.0. |
Hello, Upstream's GYP build system does not seem to be validated against FreeBSD which is causing trouble here. I'm in the works of packaging v8 6.7. Will see if I can resume FreeBSD binary production with it. Apart from that, if you're able to make V8's build scripts work, I am willing to accept patches. |
Alas, still
|
I've opened an issue with the V8 project: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=857057. Additionally this troubling issue exists: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/v8/issues/detail?id=6676 |
(Star the issues there) |
It's already 2019 and we still don't have libv8 for FreeBSD. Could anyone build the newest version for FreeBSD, please? Still haven't managed to do this. |
so badly |
In FreeBSD there is port to build v8. (lang/v8). Can we use it in some way? |
as far as I can tell the port there is of version 3.18 so unfortunately no |
Yes, but no. Building of libv8 depends heavily on google depot_tools, and Google has much less than no interest in supporting FreeBSD. I'm currently fighting that overwindowish thing, with lots of well-hidden downloads of precompiled binaries without any clue on sources or even specs. Looks like I'll have to try to cut off all that "automation" and step-by-step fill everything manually, than think on depot_tools rewriting from scratch. I do wonder: they have time, human resource and money for Code of Conduct, to put out all possibly offensive jokes, words and so on; at the same time, they do deprive me of using my favorite OS just becaues (disabled by CoC fword) you, that's why! - and feel comfortable with it... |
Currently port lang/v8 version 9.0 is available. |
Closing as this issue is completely sidestepped in libv8-node. |
Uh oh!
There was an error while loading. Please reload this page.
At this point there is no upstream support for building V8 on FreeBSD.
