Building

Windows

Initial Windows Build Setup

1. Download and Install
   Windows 10 Windows SDK:
   https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/sdk-archive
   Note: Windows SDK has to be Windows 10 version, NOT Windows 11
2. Download and Install
   Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable x64
   Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable x86
   https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist
3. Download and Install
   Visual Studio 2022
   https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs
   In Visual Studio Setup, Select the following Individual Components:
   • MSVC v143 - VS 2022 C++ x64/x86 Spectre-mitigated libs (Latest)
   • C++ ATL for latest v143 build tools with Spectre Mitigations (x86 & x64)
4. Enable PowerShell script execution
   Launch Cmd as Administrator

   powershell Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

5. Perform Initial Build
   Launch Cmd as Standard user, NOT Administrator
   From V8-Jsi Repo directory:

   powershell ./localbuild.ps1
   

Windows Build

To build Win32 X64 Debug:

Launch Cmd as Standard user, NOT Administrator
From V8-Jsi Repo Directory:

powershell ./localbuild.ps1 -NoSetup

To build the specific platform and flavor, use appropriate build flags:

powershell ./localbuild.ps1 -NoSetup -Platform x86 -Configuration Release 

[EXPERIMENTAL!] Building with WSL2 on Windows 10/11

• Enable Windows Subsystem for Linux
• Install debian: wsl --install -d Debian
• Install PowerShell in the Debian VM
• Install minimal dependencies on the Debian VM: sudo apt install lsb-release
• Make sure you have at least 15Gb of disk space on the drive where the WSL image lives (usually C:)
• Build with pwsh ./localbuild.ps1 -AppPlatform android
• If setup is completed successfully, build incrementally with pwsh ./localbuild.ps1 -AppPlatform android -NoSetup

[EXPERIMENTAL!] Building on macOS

• Install PowerShell by running brew install --cask powershell
• Build with pwsh ./localbuild.ps1 -AppPlatform mac
• If setup is completed successfully, build incrementally with pwsh ./localbuild.ps1 -AppPlatform mac -NoSetup
• Note: there are several test failures on macOS currently

Out-of-sync issues

Until the JSI headers find a more suitable home, they're currently duplicated between the various repos. Code in jsi\jsi should be synchronized with the matching version of JSI from react-native (from https://github.com/facebook/hermes/tree/master/API/jsi/jsi).

Build script patches

To regenerate after manual fix-ups, run:

• git diff --output=..\..\..\scripts\patch\build.diff --ignore-cr-at-eol from \build\v8\build\.
• git diff --output=..\..\scripts\patch\src.diff --ignore-cr-at-eol from \build\v8\.
• git diff --output=..\..\..\..\scripts\patch\zlib.diff --ignore-cr-at-eol from \build\v8\third_party\zlib\.
