README
A port of the [V8 JavaScript engine](https://v8.dev/) to the
[CMake](https://cmake.org/) build system.
motivation
==========
V8 natively uses [GN](https://gn.googlesource.com/gn/) to build itself, which
is part of the Chromium ecosystem but pretty much not used outside of it.
CMake is a widely used build system for C and C++ projects. This port will
hopefully make it easier to integrate V8 with third-party projects.
Caveat emptor: v8-cmake is very much a work in progress. Bug reports and
pull requests welcome!
build
=====
To build the library and the `d8` shell:
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake /path/to/v8-cmake
$ make -j8
If CMake complains about `python` being incompatible or too old:
$ cmake -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python3 /path/to/v8-cmake
maintainers
===========
To update V8 to a new patch release:
$ python update_v8.py
#
4dc61d3cd0 (tag: 8.5.210.20, refs/branch-heads/8.5) Version 8.5.210.20
$ git add .
$ git commit -am 8.5.210.20
$ git tag 8.5.210.20
To update V8 to a new minor or major release, open `update_v8.json` in an
editor and update the `"branch"` field, then run `update_v8.py`.
The diff for `update_v8.json` should look like this:
```diff
diff --git a/update_v8.json b/update_v8.json
index 9d4a79ba..eb1f89f0 100644
--- a/update_v8.json
+++ b/update_v8.json
