#V8

QNX is now an officially supported platform in the V8 project on the trunk branch. We now recommend using the upstream project.

The v8-3.8.9-qnx branch holds the previous v3.8.9 sources for QNX and is still available in this repository.

Getting the Code and Dependencies

Follow the instructions at https://code.google.com/p/v8/wiki/BuildingWithGYP to get the code and install the dependences. After doing this, please follow the QNX and cross-compilation instructions below.

Prerequisites

• Linux or OS X
• Python 2.6 or higher
• BlackBerry NDK or QNX SDP

Patching V8

In order to allow easy cross-compiling, a small patch to add a Makefile for QNX needs to be applied. Please download and apply the qnx-build.patch above in this repository in the root of your V8 directory:

cd $V8_DIR
git am qnx-build.patch

Patching GYP

The GYP build tool needs to be patched to work with the QNX toolchain. Please download and apply the qnx-gyp.patch patch above in this repository in the root of your GYP installation directory:

cd $V8_DIR/build/gyp
patch -p0 -i qnx-gyp.patch

Building For QNX ARM

make qnx_arm.release -j50

To test, you can then load the d8 binary onto the device and run it.
