Are there any plans to fix latest libv8 versions under FreeBSD?
angeloudy commentedon Jun 27, 2018
Having the same issue when trying to install libv8 6.3
angeloudy commentedon Jun 27, 2018
There are no binary gems for freebsd after version 6.0.

ignisf commentedon Jun 27, 2018
Hello,
Upstream's GYP build system does not seem to be validated against FreeBSD which is causing trouble here. I'm in the works of packaging v8 6.7. Will see if I can resume FreeBSD binary production with it. Apart from that, if you're able to make V8's build scripts work, I am willing to accept patches.

I've opened an issue with the V8 project: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=857057. Additionally this troubling issue exists: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/v8/issues/detail?id=6676

sevospl commentedon Jun 22, 2019
It's already 2019 and we still don't have libv8 for FreeBSD.
Could anyone build the newest version for FreeBSD, please? Still haven't managed to do this.
ignisf commentedon Aug 7, 2019
@sevospl, https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=857057#c7
GremL1N commentedon Oct 11, 2019
so badly
GremL1N commentedon Oct 11, 2019
In FreeBSD there is port to build v8. (lang/v8). Can we use it in some way?
ignisf commentedon Oct 11, 2019
as far as I can tell the port there is of version 3.18 so unfortunately no
tarkhil commentedon Dec 13, 2020
Yes, but no.
Building of libv8 depends heavily on google depot_tools, and Google has much less than no interest in supporting FreeBSD.
I'm currently fighting that overwindowish thing, with lots of well-hidden downloads of precompiled binaries without any clue on sources or even specs. Looks like I'll have to try to cut off all that "automation" and step-by-step fill everything manually, than think on depot_tools rewriting from scratch.
I do wonder: they have time, human resource and money for Code of Conduct, to put out all possibly offensive jokes, words and so on; at the same time, they do deprive me of using my favorite OS just becaues (disabled by CoC fword) you, that's why! - and feel comfortable with it...
oklas commentedon Jun 24, 2021
Currently port lang/v8 version 9.0 is available.
lloeki commentedon Dec 4, 2023
Closing as this issue is completely sidestepped in libv8-node.
