V8Js on GNU/Linux
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Installation of V8Js on GNU/Linux is pretty much straight forward.
|
|
|
|
The biggest hurdle actually is that you need a rather new v8 library.
|
|
However most distributions still ship the rusty version 3.14, publish
|
|
years ago, since Node.js requires such an old version.
|
|
|
|
This means that you usually need to compile v8 on your own before
|
|
you can start to compile & install v8js itself.
|
|
|
|
Snapshots
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
V8 has (optional) support for so-called snapshots which speed up startup
|
|
performance drastically. Hence they are generally recommended for use.
|
|
|
|
There are two flavours of snapshots: internal & external.
|
|
|
|
Internal snapshots are built right into the V8 library (libv8.so file),
|
|
so there's no need to handle them specially.
|
|
|
|
Besides there are external snapshots (which are enabled unless configured
|
|
otherwise). If V8 is compiled with these, then V8Js needs to provide two
|
|
"binary blobs" to V8, named `natives_blob.bin` and `snapshot_blob.bin`.
|
|
In that case copy those two files to `/usr/share/v8/...`.
|
|
|
|
Compile latest V8
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd /tmp
|
|
|
|
# Install depot_tools first (needed for source checkout)
|
|
git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git
|
|
export PATH=`pwd`/depot_tools:"$PATH"
|
|
|
|
# Download v8
|
|
fetch v8
|
|
cd v8
|
|
|
|
# (optional) If you'd like to build a certain version:
|
|
git checkout 4.9.385.28
|
|
gclient sync
|
|
|
|
# use libicu of operating system
|
|
export GYP_DEFINES="use_system_icu=1"
|
|
|
|
# Build (with internal snapshots)
|
|
export GYPFLAGS="-Dv8_use_external_startup_data=0"
|
|
make native library=shared snapshot=on -j8
|
|
|
|
# Install to /usr
|
|
sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib /usr/include
|
|
sudo cp out/native/lib.target/lib*.so /usr/lib/
|
|
sudo cp -R include/* /usr/include
|
|
echo -e "create /usr/lib/libv8_libplatform.a\naddlib out/native/obj.target/tools/gyp/libv8_libplatform.a\nsave\nend" | sudo ar -M
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* If you don't want to overwrite the system copy of v8, replace `/usr` in
|
|
the above commands with some other path like `/opt/v8` and then add
|
|
`--with-v8js=/opt/v8` to the php-v8js `./configure` command below.
|
|
|
|
`libv8_libplatform.a` should not be copied directly since it's a thin
|
|
archive, i.e. it contains only pointers to the build objects, which
|
|
otherwise must not be deleted. The simple mri-script converts the
|
|
thin archive to a normal archive.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compile php-v8js itself
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd /tmp
|
|
git clone https://github.com/phpv8/v8js.git
|
|
cd v8js
|
|
phpize
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
make test
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then add `extension=v8js.so` to your php.ini file. If you have a separate configuration for CLI, add it there also.
