V8 javascript for C++ - precompiled binaries

Question

Can you please tell me if there are pre-compiled binaries of the v8 library somewhere?

Because building from source is just some kind of hell.

Answer 1

V8 developer here. We do not distribute any official binaries.

Building from source should be quite straightforward using the instructions at https://v8.dev/docs/source-code and https://v8.dev/docs/build-gn .

That said, guessing from your other question , you may want to look elsewhere right away, as V8 is not going to help you for that use case: it's a pure ECMAScript engine, so it doesn't know anything about the DOM or related browser functionality. For example, if it saw document.createElement(...) , it'd say ReferenceError: document is not defined .
