title: Build QtWebkit with V8
body: <p>For some days I've been looking forward to build <code>QtWebkit</code> with <code>V8</code> support.</p>
  
  <p>I found lot of resources over the internet, some of them old like this one from 2010:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><a href="http://webkit.sed.hu/blog/20101216/benchmarking-qtwebkit-v8-linux" rel="nofollow">http://webkit.sed.hu/blog/20101216/benchmarking-qtwebkit-v8-linux</a></li>
  </ul>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>"For some time it has been possible to build and run QtWebKit on Linux
    using Google's V8 JavaScript engine instead of the default
    JavaScriptCore."</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>And this one from 2011:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><a href="https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-qt/2011-January/001111.html" rel="nofollow">https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-qt/2011-January/001111.html</a></li>
  </ul>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The current trunk should also build now with:
    Tools/Scripts/build-webkit --qt --v8</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I also found this one:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><a href="http://qt-project.org/wiki/V8_Port" rel="nofollow">http://qt-project.org/wiki/V8_Port</a></li>
  </ul>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>THE PROJECT WAS ABANDONED [bugreports.qt-project.org]</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The <code>--v8</code> doesn't seems to be recognized in Webkit's <code>build_webkit</code> script and there doesn't seems to be a similar option.</p>
  
  <p>A <code>find</code> in Webkit's source revealed v8 tests and bindings existing in the project.</p>
  
  <p>So it's there a way to build <code>QtWebkit</code> with <code>v8</code> or is it abandoned?</p>
