Steps taken to create JavaScriptCore static iOS library from webkit sources: --- - Remove JavaScriptCore and WTF folders $ rm -rf WTF $ rm -rf JavaScriptCore - Check out JavaScriptCore / WTF from webkit.org $ svn co https://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/tags/Safari-538.12.1/Source/WTF $ svn co https://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/tags/Safari-538.12.1/Source/JavaScriptCore - Open WTF.xcodeproj - Select "WTF" project, go to "Info" tab - Under "Configurations": for each config of "WTF" (Debug, Release, ...) change the config file to "WTF-iOS-Static" - Add JavaScriptCore-iOS-Static.xcconfig and ToolExecutable-iOS-Static.xcconfig to JavaScriptCore - Duplicate target JSCLLIntOffsetsExtractor - Rename to "JSCLLIntOffsetsExtractor iOS" - Rename scheme to "JSCLLIntOffsetsExtractor iOS" - Change the PRODUCT_NAME setting back to "JSCLLIntOffsetsExtractor" - Select "JavaScriptCore" project, go to "Info" tab - Under "Configurations": for each config (Debug, Release, ...) change the config file to "ToolExecutable-iOS-Static" - Close Xcode - Open project.pbxproj in an editor - In the "JSCLLIntOffsetsExtractor iOS" target, replace "com.apple.product-type.tool" with "com.apple.product-type.library.static" - Duplicate target "Derived Sources" - Rename to "Derived Sources iOS" - Rename scheme to "Derived Sources iOS" - Under "Build Phases" > "Target Dependencies": - Remove "JSCLLIntOffsetsExtractor" - Add "JSCLLIntOffsetsExtractor iOS" - In the "Generate Derived Sources" script, change last line to: /usr/bin/env ruby JavaScriptCore/offlineasm/asm.rb JavaScriptCore/llint/LowLevelInterpreter.asm ${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/libJSCLLIntOffsetsExtractor.a LLIntAssembly.h || exit 1 - Duplicate target JavaScriptCore - Rename to "JavaScriptCore iOS" - Rename the scheme to "JavaScriptCore iOS" - Remove "JavaScriptCore-copy-Info.plist" from project - Remove build settings INFOPLIST_FILE, PRODUCT_NAME and INSTALL_PATH from the new target - Under "Build Phases" > "Target Dependencies": - Remove "llmvmForJSC" - Remove "Derived Sources" - Add "Derived Sources iOS" - Select "JavaScriptCore" project, go to "Info" tab - Under "Configurations": for each config (Debug, Release, ...) change the config file to "JavaScriptCore-iOS-Static" - Close Xcode - Open project.pbxproj in an editor - In the "JavaScriptCore iOS" target, replace "com.apple.product-type.framework" with "com.apple.product-type.library.static" - Try building the projects from the JavaScriptCore.xcworkspace. There are probably some things that don't compile right away, because of small bugs, probably related to feature #defines. See phoboslabs' patches: https://github.com/phoboslab/JavaScriptCore-iOS/commits/master - Run `python make.py` - Grab a cup of coffee while the project builds.... :) Thoughts for improvement: --- - It's probably simpler and faster not to make duplicates, but just set the xcconfig files on the existing targets - The step to mod the script for "Generate Derived Sources" can probably be avoided by mucking with the build settings EXECUTABLE_PREFIX (`lib`) and EXECUTABLE_EXTENSION (`a`) to make the output file name match what the script expects. - Can the product type be set from an xcconfig file? Perhaps using the PRODUCT_TYPE and/or PACKAGE_TYPE build settings? - For some reason the WTF headers get included in the JavaScriptCore.framework. Probably something I'm missing.
