I don't know how that is compiled, though. Probably on Linux, considering that Android itself runs on a Linux kernel. AFAIK, none of the V8 developers use Windows as their primary OS. We obviously support building (and running) V8 on Windows as far as necessary, but there's no incentive on our side to go beyond that. Also, note that building with SCons is deprecated on all platforms; we're actively moving away from it. Any effort invested into the build system should be directed towards the GYP based build. > Is there any person that have succeded to build > trunk version of V8 for Android on Windows 7 ? > > thanks in advance, any information will be really appreciated, > Ale. > > > > > > -- > v8-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://groups.google.com/**group/v8-users<http://groups.google.com/group/v8-users> > -- v8-users mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/v8-users
