This package is required for the R-package V8 (https://github.com/jeroen/V8). It is frequently updated, though unless it is broken, users must not build all updates. Since V8 contains a large codebase and compilation takes a while, I recommend to build it in a directory and not with an AUR-helper.

[Edit:] For binary builds please see: https://garbuszus.de/archpkgs

Can you add procps-ng to the makedepends array? This is needed to build in a clean chroot. I originally didn't think it should be needed since it is a part of base, but apparently that's not the case. See my forum post here

Thanks for reaching out. The change was introduced recently. I might patch it for tomorrows release (V8 upstream is usually not that responsive to non Google issues)

I am getting an error when building another project using the v8-typed-array.h file from this package.

/usr/include/v8-typed-array.h:26:22: error: #if with no expression
   26 | #if V8_ENABLE_SANDBOX

Changing #if to #ifdef fixes the error.

@malacology please stop spamming.

r-v8 now use nodejs as depends instead of v8

@JanMarvin Thanks. Your reply sounds reasonable. I'll ask android-sdk-build-tools maintainer to see if there are any ideas about resolving this conflict.

Hi @gnaggnoyil, had a quick look. The android package is a binary package that expects to live in /opt and is simply linked to /usr/bin. Imho that's incorrect, but you should be able to fix this. Either by keeping it in /opt or linking it to /usr/local/lib. If instead the question was if I do something to fix this for you, the answer is no.

This package has conflicting file usr/bin/d8 with the aur/android-sdk-build-tools package. Is there anyway to resolve this file conflict error?

My repo for binary builds has moved to my server (github was no longer a feasible host, since the builds were increasing a lot lately).
