V8Js on GNU/Linux

=================

Installation of V8Js on GNU/Linux is pretty much straight forward.

The biggest hurdle actually is that you need a rather new v8 library.

However most distributions still ship the rusty version 3.14, publish

years ago, since Node.js requires such an old version.

This means that you usually need to compile v8 on your own before

you can start to compile & install v8js itself.

Compile latest v8

-----------------

```

cd /tmp

# Install depot_tools first (needed for source checkout)

git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git

export PATH=`pwd`/depot_tools:"$PATH"

# Download v8

fetch v8

cd v8

# (optional) If you'd like to build a certain version:

git checkout 3.32.6

gclient sync

# Build

make native library=shared -j8

# Install to /usr

sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib /usr/include

sudo cp out/native/lib.target/lib*.so /usr/lib/

sudo cp -R include/* /usr/include

echo -e "create /usr/lib/libv8_libplatform.a\naddlib out/native/obj.target/tools/gyp/libv8_libplatform.a\nsave\nend" | sudo ar -M

```

If you don't want to overwrite the system copy of v8, replace `/usr` in

the above commands with `/tmp/v8-install` and then add

`--with-v8js=/tmp/v8-install` to the php-v8js `./configure` command below.

If you do that with a v8 library of 4.2 branch or newer, then you need

to fix the RUNPATH header in the v8js.so library so the libicui18n.so

is found. By default it is set to `$ORIGIN/lib.target/`, however the files

lie side by side. Use `chrpath -r '$ORIGIN' libv8.so` to fix.

`libv8_libplatform.a` should not be copied directly since it's a thin

archive, i.e. it contains only pointers to the build objects, which

otherwise must not be deleted.  The simple mri-script converts the

thin archive to a normal archive.

Compile php-v8js itself

-----------------------

```

cd /tmp

git clone https://github.com/preillyme/v8js.git

cd v8js

phpize

./configure

make

make test

sudo make install

```
