Comment #1 on issue 2902 by [email protected]: Compiling instructions do not work
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=2902

Hi,

I have simular problems with MinGW and MSYS.

I'm trying to build V8 on windows using MinGW (with or without cygwin). I know that MinGW builds are not supported officially, but still maybe you can help me.

On wiki you have two options to build using MinGW:
1) With Cygwin. I have figured out how to fix the backslash issue and now getting this:

make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/c/my/lib/v8/out'

2) Using tools/mingw-generate-makefiles.sh I've managed to build part of sources but still got a error:

  CXX(target) /c/Work/my/lib/v8/out/ia32.release/obj.target/v8_base.ia3
2/src/i18n.o
In file included from ../third_party/icu/source/common/unicode/umachine.h:52:0, from ../third_party/icu/source/common/unicode/uversion.h:28,
                 from ../src/i18n.h:32,
                 from ../src/i18n.cc:29:
../third_party/icu/source/common/unicode/ptypes.h:36:33: fatal error: unicode/pl
atform.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[1]: *** [/c/Work/my/lib/v8/out/ia32.release/obj.target/v8_base.ia3
2/src/i18n.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/c/Work/my/lib/v8/out'
make: *** [ia32.release] Error 2

It appears icu is not configured at this moment. As I read in the icu manual this file (platform.h) is created during configuration with autoconf. I've tried to run icu configuration manualy but without success. Also I've tried to put platform.h from other icu distribution under your repository - this gives me a lot of compilation errors.

Do you have anything to suggest?

Thank you
