Python3 compatibility will be required sooner or later, but is not a focus
right now. Depending on how intrusive your patches are, we might accept
them anyway.
Some helper scripts for Windows would be appreciated. I've been thinking
for a while about a kind of Make-replacement that supports the interface
our top-level Makefile achieves on *nix, e.g.:
- python tools/windows-make.py dependencies
- python tools/windows-make.py ia32.release
Wish list:
- the "dependencies" target should checkout GYP and Cygwin. Checking out
Python doesn't make much sense as you'll need that to run the tool.
- I don't care if the syntax for build targets changes slightly, but if
it was exactly like in the Makefile that'd be ideal ("ia32.release",
"x64.debug" etc.)
- the tool should read the location of devenv.com from the registry
(inspiration:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/codesearch#chromium/tools/build/scripts/slave/compile.py&l=941
)
- when switching between ia32 and x64 builds, it's necessary to manually
delete all VS project files. When in doubt, just deleting them every time
(before invoking build/gyp_v8 again) should be safe.
Looking forward to your patches!
Regards,
Jakob
