Browsercore

Build

Prerequisites

Browsercore is written with Zig 0.10.1. You have to install it with the right version in order to build the project.

Browsercore also depends on js-runtimelib and lexbor libs.

To be able to build the v8 engine for js-runtimelib, you have to install some libs:

For Debian/Ubuntu based Linux:

sudo apt install xz-utils \
    python3 ca-certificates git \
    pkg-config libglib2.0-dev \
    cmake

For MacOS, you only need Python 3 and cmake.

To be able to build lexbor, you need to install also cmake.

Install and build dependencies

The project uses git submodule for dependencies. The make install-submodule will init and update the submodules in the vendor/ directory.

make install-submodule

Build lexbor

The command make install-lexbor will build lexbor lib used by browsercore.

make install-lexbor

Build jsruntime-lib

The command make install-jsruntime-dev uses jsruntime-lib's zig-v8 dependency to build v8 engine lib. Be aware the build task is very long and cpu consuming.

Build v8 engine for debug/dev version, it creates vendor/jsruntime-lib/vendor/v8/$ARCH/debug/libc_v8.a file.

make install-jsruntime-dev

You should also build a release vesion of v8 with:

make install-jsruntime

All in one build

You can run make intall and make install-dev to install deps all in one.

Test

You can test browsercore by running make test.
