Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to build v8 as a static library (libv8.a) on Mac or Linux using the GYP build? Looking at the gyp files, it seems like the new build system will only build shell executables and smaller component libraries (libv8_base, libv8_nosnapshot, libpreprocessor_lib), or a shared library when component=shared_library. Specifying component=static_library or library=static as was supported in the Scons build does not generate libv8.a. In particular the v8.gyp sets the type to none unless shared is specified so I'm guessing that has something to do with it. I cannot get it to work so far.
