Found solution. So just if someone needs-
1. update v8/gni/v8.gni, put static library
template("v8_source_set") {
static_library(target_name) {
2. generate build files with gn
3. Run ninja -j1 -C yourbuilddir d8
Build only d8 - this will build all necessary libs.
Then pick yourbuilddir/obj/*.lib and following
yourbuilddir/icuuc.dll
yourbuilddir/icuuc.dll.lib
yourbuilddir/icuuc.dll.pdb
yourbuilddir/icui18n.dll
yourbuilddir/icui18n.dll.lib
yourbuilddir/icui18n.dll.pdb
yourbuilddir/icudtl.dat
Link with all libs from picked, except you need to select between
v8_nosnaphshot.lib or v8_external_snapshot.lib depending on what you need.
Hoping that this will be helpful for someone else.
