I have two questions related to building the v8 as a static library.
*1*. I'm building on Windows and the build fails very close to the end with
this output:
ninja -C out.gn/x64.debug
ninja: Entering directory `out.gn/x64.debug'
[1/1] Regenerating ninja files

[1446/1543] CXX obj/test/cctest/cctest_sources/test-code-generator.obj
ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.Enter code here...
Apparently, no object files were supplied to the linker, only libraries,
which is a warnings, but warnings are treated as errors, hence it fails the
build. By the time it reaches this point, all v8 libraries are built, so I
can use the v8 for my purposes, but it would be nice if it built as it is
supposed to.
Anybody has any idea how to remedy this problem?
*2*. Static v8 libraries are build against static VC++ CRT (i.e. with the
`/MT` and `/MTd` flags), which means that they will not pick up any
security updates from MS and also that the project cannot share memory C++
allocations (i.e. `malloc`/`operator new`), CRT callbacks and some other
things with the rest of the code, so it would need to be completely
encapsulated within its own DLL. I found a really old thread from 2012:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/v8-users/PpA3mhICTiM
, but it's just too old to be of any significance.
Is there a way to build v8 static libraries against VC++ DLL CRT (i.e. with
`/MD` and `/MDd` flags)?
Thanks!
