Comment #4 on issue 2973 by [email protected]: V8 will not build on
Windows7 x64 due to Python errors.
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=2973
Just to make sure we're talking about the same thing: Revision 1685 refers
to the version of GYP needed to build V8.
As far as diffing the changes I haven't taken the time to do that either.
I just looked at the Makefile provided with the V8 project. If you follow
the directions for building V8 in Linux the first step is "make
dependencies" which handles downloading / checking out all of the 3rd party
utilities needed for the build (i.e. gyp, icu, python, etc...)
I saw that the Makefile's "dependencies" target specifically checks out
revision 1685 of GYP. At this point I proceeded to (manually) checkout
revision 1685 of gyp since I was building on windows.
Although, I'm not a developer on this project (and can not say for sure) I
do not believe that using an older revision (1685) of gyp should affect the
resulting V8 binary. The reason for my belief is that gyp (Generate Your
Projects) is merely a build tool (a very clever one at that) that handles
generating project files for multiple IDE's (i.e. VisualStudio, XCode,
etc...)
I figured that getting the V8 build process to work with the trunk version
of gyp is a task for the V8 project team (and it's probably low priority
because revision 1685 works :))
Just my 2 cents.
