This directory contains the V8 GYP files used to generate actual project files for different build systems. This is currently work in progress but this is expected to replace the SCons based build system. To use this a checkout of GYP is needed inside this directory. From the root of the V8 project do the following $ svn co http://gyp.googlecode.com/svn/trunk build/gyp To generate Makefiles and build 32-bit version on Linux: $ GYP_DEFINES=target_arch=ia32 build/gyp_v8 $ make To generate Makefiles and build 64-bit version on Linux: $ GYP_DEFINES=target_arch=x64 build/gyp_v8 $ make To generate Makefiles and build for the arm simulator on Linux: $ build/gyp_v8 -I build/arm.gypi $ make
