I gotta say I'm surprised, though, that it works at all with what little patching they're doing :-) If you have time, I'd be very interested in what the optimal GCC compiler flags are for building for ARM/Android. There might be a few percent of performance to gain by carefully selecting optimization flags. > Using the build script wrapper in there, that sets up an NDK toolchain and > then builds using scons, I was able to compile V8 for Android successfully. > Is there any gotcha with this method of building V8 for Android I should > watch out for?

One thing to be aware of is that the SCons based build is on its way out. By the time we actually delete the SConstruct files, however, the gyp/make based build should provide similarly comfortable support for building for Android, so it shouldn't be much of a hassle for any downstream projects to switch. (ETA for this is unknown, I was hoping Q4, but that's out of the question by now. There'll be plenty of warning.) -- v8-users mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/v8-users
