Temporary build instructions for Event Store on OS X. Not complete or tested.

gistfile1.txt

Note that this will ONLY work currently (10 March 2014) with the `dev` branch of Event Store as that has commits which fix the .csproj files to use dylibs instead of shared objects. Instructions are incomplete and untested, but there will be a working, tested script forthcoming soon!


1. Build a 64 bit mono from source (I'm on 3.8, the GC is broken in everything since 3.0.12 though (and that needs patching) but I guess if you're on OS X you're not talking production here). Assuming this is going in /opt/mono

2. Clone and build V8. Should be a simple case of:

  - `make dependencies`
  - `make x64.release library=shared`
  - Copy the dylibs to `src/EventStore/libs/`
    
3. Build JS1:

  - `cd EventStore/src/EventStore/EventStore.Projections.v8Integration`
  - `clang-I ./src/EventStore/libs/include -L ./src/EventStore/libs *.cpp -o libjs1.so -arch x86_64 -lv8 -O2 -fPIC --shared --save-temps -std=c++0x`
  - Copy the dylib to `src/EventStore/libs/`
    
2a and 3a. Fix all the dylib install names

  - Almost certainly a better way to do this but for now this works:
    - Set the IDs on all the dylibs using (e.g.) `install_name_tool -id @executable_path/libjs1.dylib libjs1.dylib`
    - Change the paths for all dependencies on dylibs (you can find them using `otool -L dylibname`) using (e.g.):
      - install_name_tool -change /usr/local/lib/libv8.dylib libv8.dylib libjs1.dylib
      - install_name_tool -change /usr/local/lib/libicuuc.dylib libicuuc.dylib libicui18n.dylib
      - install_name_tool -change /usr/local/lib/libicuuc.dylib libicuuc.dylib libv8.dylib
      - install_name_tool -change /usr/local/lib/libicui18n.dylib libicui18n.dylib libv8.dylib

4. Build Event Store:

  - `xbuild src/EventStore/EventStore.sln /p:Platform="Any CPU" /p:Configuration="Release"`

Thanks! Is V8 from https://code.google.com/p/v8/wiki/UsingGit ?

The "official" Event Store build uses the Subversion repo of it: http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/trunk, revision 18454

Although we could have used git with --depth 1 and may do again in future to avoid a build dependency on svn.

the clang command specifies libjs1.so as output but then you're supposed to copy a dylib. Am I missing sth. here?
