Comment #15 on issue 3835 by [email protected]:
change-lowering-unittest.cc does not compile with g++ 4.9.2
https://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=3835
@11: Yes, yes, thanks for the gentle admonishments. I realize I may have
entered into this at an oblique angle. What I did was look at
https://code.google.com/p/v8-wiki/wiki/BuildingWithGYP
There it says that "gclient sync" fetches gyp. Instead, I wanted to
package gyp separately (I've done that already) and have already a patch
for building with the already-installed gyp instead of the bundled
version. Gyp is apparently used by several projects, so for that reason I
omitted the "gclient sync" step. It's otherwise from that description hard
to tell what exactly "gclient sync" is going to do: is it going to install
stuff in /usr/local/bin? Or is it going to put stuff in ~/? Or is it only
going to place stuff inside the build tree? And what decides what's going
to be installed? If the answer to any of the two first questions would
be "yes", my response would be "hell, no!".
If "gclient sync" only places things relative to the current directory,
i.e. inside the build tree, and what versions get fetched depend solely on
the contents of a file which is already part of the tarball already
extracted, that's fine from a packaging perspective, as reproducability is
preserved. But again, from the description in the above page it's really
hard to tell what that step actually does other than pull down and/or
install gyp (which I didn't want/need).
So ... this may boil down to a rather simple documentation enhancement
request.
Best regards,
