Bug 343791 – Make dev-lang/v8 compile on arm and keyword ~arm

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Paweł Hajdan, Jr. (RETIRED) 2010-11-02 08:30:34 UTC]

www-client/chromium is keyworded ~arm, so before we can depend on dev-lang/v8, we should also keyword v8 ~arm.

If we're lucky, the only thing that needs work is the arch detection logic in the ebuild (need to add a case for arm). If the tests don't pass on ARM however, it's going to be more complicated. Anyway, a good first step would be to get it to compile on ARM.

The arch-detection can easily be extended to support arm (see attached ebuild) and then dev-lang/v8-2.4.9.10 compiles and runs (in combination with www-client/chromium-8.0.552.28) just fine on this architecture.

emerges and passes tests without problems.
@armin76: do you want to test it on armv7 as I just emerged it on my sheevaplug.

I tested it on IGEPv2 which is armv7a, so please integrate the attached patch.

Done (v8-2.5.6). Thanks for testing. Now looking forward to the ~arm keyword. :)

~arm keyword added to -2.5.6, thanks for testing Fabian.

tested on beagle-mx - all looks good.
