Embedding v8 Javascript in an MSVC project

rem to activate the venv, we need a pyvenv.cfg in the scripts\nt directory e.g.
rem home = C:/Code/Teleport/Javascript/depot_tools/.cipd_bin/3.8/bin/Lib/venv/scripts/nt
rem include-system-site-packages = false
rem version = 3.8

call %cd%\depot_tools\.cipd_bin\3.8\bin\Lib\venv\scripts\nt\activate.bat

rem activate.bat calls echo off, but we want to see these commands:
echo on

where python

cd v8

rem gclient sync
rem python tools/dev/v8gen.py list
rem python tools/dev/v8gen.py x64.release

rem To embed V8 into our application we need to build it as a static library. To do that, we need to modify default build configuration and add these two flags to args.gn file:

rem is_component_build = false
rem v8_static_library = true

rem  now to out.gn\x64.release/args.gn add:
rem is_debug = false
rem target_cpu = "x64"
rem is_component_build = false
rem v8_static_library = true
rem # disable thin lib shenanigans
rem  thin_lto_enable_cache = false

rem GOT to have Windows SDK 10.0.22621.2428, install by hand if necessary
