Building v8 and plv8 under mingw-w64

build_v8_plv8.sh

# I still haven't figured out how to build with gyp, 
# after many hours trying downloading 700 mb of a toolchain google forces me to use, 
# so I still build with a version of v8 that I know works with scons

# 1. install scons (32-bit) from http://www.scons.org/ (I think mine is 2.3.4) and I have in python 2.7 something
# 2. For this I've been using mingw-w64 on a windows 7 64-bit ((x86_64-win32-seh-rev1, Built by MinGW-W64 project) 4.8.3) , Msys
# http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/download.php (for the 32-bit version I use minGW-w64 w32 chain ( (rev2, Built by MinGW-W64 project) 4.8.1 with sjlj ) )

#make clean

###Edit the SConstruct file at the root of v8 source tree  line 305, 408 and remove the '-Werror'
###If you are building for 32-bit change the x64 to ia32
scons.py --warn=no-all mode=release arch=x64 toolchain=gcc importenv=PATH library=shared I_know_I_should_build_with_GYP=yes
scons.py --warn=no-all d8 mode=release arch=x64 toolchain=gcc importenv=PATH library=shared I_know_I_should_build_with_GYP=yes
strip *.dll

##you should now have a v8.dll, v8preparser.dll, d3.exe in the root of your v8/3.14.5 source tree

Hi,

I'm trying to follow your instructions in order to build plv8 for PostgreSQL-9.5 but I don't have an SConstruct file at the root of V8 source tree.

Any ideas? Thanks!

I installed PostgreSQL 9.4 and attempted the installation for plv8. On the surface it seemed to go as expected. I did the CREATE EXTENSION plv8; it returned CREATE EXTENSION. Then I added the comments to the custom_variables in the Postgresql.conf and attempted to restart the server and it would not restart. I am running xTuple ERP on it. Any recommendations?
