Failed to build master.

[astlin]

I'm trying to build macchina from current master:

git clone https://github.com/macchina-io/macchina.io.git
cd macchina.io
git checkout master
make -s -j8 DEFAULT_TARGET=shared_release

And something goes wrong:

There seems to be an issue with the Ubuntu 17.04 toolchain. As a workaround, try disabling V8 snapshots by passing V8_NOSNAPSHOT=1 to make:

make -s -j8 DEFAULT_TARGET=shared_release V8_NOSNAPSHOT=1

Thank you, that worked. I also tried to build feature-v8-5.2 branch for something less outdated:

make -s -j8 DEFAULT_TARGET=shared_release V8_NOSNAPSHOT=1

with no success, seems there are no rules to build v8 platform because I got:

Yes, Google has complete changed the V8 build process. We plan to use the node.js build system to build libv8.
