| Notes about building JavaScriptCore on Win32: |
| |
| The build has been tested with Visual Studio 2003 (7.1) and Visual Studio |
| 2005 Beta 2. It should also work with Microsft's free |
| http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003 (which is basically |
| the same compiler & linker that is a part of VS 2003 but without the IDE) |
| but it has not been tested. |
| |
| It doesn't build with VS 6. |
| |
| To build: |
| * make sure that the tools are in the path. VS comes with vcvars32.bat |
| batch file somewhere under installation directory which sets all the |
| proper env variables. I usually rename it to e.g. vc7.bat and put |
| in my %PATH% for easy invocation) |
| * you need to download ICU (http://www-306.ibm.com/software/globalization/icu/index.jsp) |
| pre-built DLLs and header files. I've tested it with VS 7.1 |
| (ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/globalization/icu/3.4/icu-3.4-Win32-msvc7.1.zip) |
| Set ICUDIR to where you've downloaded the files. |
| * you need perl for generating *.lut.h files |
| * you need bison for generating parser from grammar.y (I use http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/bison.htm) |
| * nmake -f Makefile.vc clean |
| * nmake -f Makefile.vc |
| or |
| * nmake -f Makefile.vc DEBUG=1 |
| |
| What do you get: in bin subdirectory you'll find testkjs.exe executable |
| which is a javascript interpreter. It can be used to run javascript |
| tests in tests\mozilla (see \WebKitTools\scripts\run-javascriptcore-tests |
| for an example on how to run them; you can use this script if you |
| just replace "testkjs" with a full path to testkjs.exe. |
| |
| TODO |
| |
| Currently only testkjs.exe is built. It should also build a static |
| .lib library so that it's easy to build programs incorporating the core. |
| It should also build as a dynamic DLL. It's just a matter of fiddling |
| with the makefile. |
