Patch 1 for Bug 31325

There seems to be a lot of duplication between the *jsc.mk and *.v8.mk files.  That should really be avoided since we really don't want to have to update both when adding new files.  The copyright date also seems out of date.

The "we" is unclear here.  You should probably use a more descriptive term like "Android".


r- to address the duplication.

Sam, have you had chance to look at my updated patch?

Update to reflect recently removed Canvas source files.

I'm surprised that Andriod would use Make instead of sharing Chromium's GYP files.

Is it at all possible to avoid having yet another file that lists all the other files in the project?  This approach doesn't really scale.

The entire Android platform uses Make as its build system, so using something different for WebKit isn't trivial. We've looked into using GYP and it's something we'd like to do in the long term, but for now our focus is on unforking our version of WebKit and getting an Android build-bot set up.

As above, we'd like to share the GYP files in the long term.

Mostly a rubber stamp because I don't understand the build system, but it seems useful to have make files for your port.

1) I'm surprised at the 2-clause BSD.  I thought we used 3-clause

2) I'd like to strongly encourage you to use GYP.  It's easier for every port to use its own build system, but its a tragedy of the commons.

3) Does you build system integrate with build-webkit?  I'd encourage you to either make build-webkit do the right thing automagically or add a --android flag analogous to the --chromium flag.

As I mentioned earlier, this is something we'd like to do in the long term.

This is part of our short-term plan. See https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32276
