Package: wnpp Followup-For: Bug #961337 Using a shared v8 isn't going to be easy, especially with upstream being so contradictory about it... Do not rely on a binary libv8.a built outside of cargo. ../.. V8 is very large and takes a long time to compile. Many users will prefer to use a prebuilt version of V8. We publish static libs for every version of rusty v8 on Github.
