v8-Zane (Zane V8 Build Engine)

This repository contains the CI/CD infrastructure to build the V8 JavaScript Engine as a monolithic library for Windows, Linux, and macOS using Clang.

V8 is notoriously difficult to build across multiple platforms. This project provides a reliable, automated way to generate a v8_monolith static library that is compatible with modern toolchains (like MSVC, Clang, and GCC).

The build is optimized for use with the Zane project:

• Targets: Windows (x64, ARM64), Linux (x64, ARM64), macOS (x64, arm64)
• Toolchain: Google Clang (via Depot Tools)
• Mode: Monolithic (Static Library)
• Features:
  • v8_monolithic = true
  • is_clang = true
  • v8_use_external_startup_data = false (Snapshots are embedded in the library)

Each successful run of the GitHub Actions workflow produces artifacts containing:

1. v8_monolith.lib / libv8_monolith.a: The main library for linking.
2. icudtl.dat: Necessary data for internationalization (I18N).
3. include/: All necessary V8 headers.

1. Go to the Actions tab of this repository.
2. Select the latest successful build run for your target platform.
3. Download the artifact (e.g. v8_monolith_Windows_x64, v8_monolith_macOS_ARM64, etc.).
4. Extract the contents into the appropriate dependencies folder of your Zane project.
