What Hacker News says
3 sourcesSo, the actual JS VM is here:
https://github.com/Kinoma/kinomajs/tree/master/xs
Note that this project needs both java/ant AND cmake.
Here, there's makefiles in the antfiles in CDATA:
https://github.com/Kinoma/kinomajs/blob/master/xs/makefiles/...
Did they include ant just because they were using the Apache license and didn't want to seem out of place?
Further, note that the Mac instructions require Ruby, to install Homebrew, to install Java and Cmake...to compile a fucking C project.
This is why modern development is going to hell.
EDIT: It was nice to have this out there, and the actual code for the VM is interesting in places.
