I was able to get the msvc debug config to build using static libs last week (in UnrealJS). Maybe this will help you.
When you set "is_debug=true", v8 will define _DEBUG and change which args are passed to cl.exe. It sounds like the other libs you're trying to link with are maybe using the release CRT even in debug builds (UE4 does this, for example). If that's the case, you'll need to change a couple of things in v8's configuration to make it match the host environment: - in build\config\win\BUILD.gn on the next line after "# Desktop Windows: static CRT.", change config from :static_crt to :release_crt - in build\config\BUILD.gn file, remove the _DEBUG define from the "debug" configuration section - Not sure if this will apply to your version of v8, but I had to fix some compile errors with CSA_ASSERT_ARGS macro. If that happens, see https://github.com/v8/v8/commit/695c40f08ea I used the following args when running gn: v8_use_external_startup_data=false v8_use_snapshot=false v8_enable_i18n_support=false is_debug=true v8_static_library=true is_clang=false is_component_build=false Hope this helps!
