A port of the V8 JavaScript engine to the CMake build system.
V8 natively uses GN to build itself, which is part of the Chromium ecosystem but pretty much not used outside of it.
CMake is a widely used build system for C and C++ projects. This port will hopefully make it easier to integrate V8 with third-party projects.
Caveat emptor: v8-cmake is very much a work in progress. Bug reports and pull requests welcome!
To build the library and the d8 shell:
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake /path/to/v8-cmake
$ make -j8
If CMake complains about python being incompatible or too old:
$ cmake -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python3 /path/to/v8-cmake
