Linker error, while compiling node js from source (as a shared library) - v 6.11.2 #15195
Description
- Version: 6.11.2
- Platform: Windows
- Subsystem: build,shared
I am trying to compile node js as a shared library from source on Windows.
Currently i am following vcbuild.bat - by passing "release" "x64" "dll" as arguments to the script.
Error (listing only one, but contains about 50+ all linker errors to v8_base_3.lib):
v8_base_3.lib(api.obj) : error LNK2005: "public: __cdecl v8::HandleScope::HandleScope(class v8::Isolate *)" (??0HandleScope@v8@@QEAA@PEAVIsolate@1@@Z) already defined in node.lib(node.dll) [D:\node-v6.11.2\cctest.vcxproj]

you reinstall and install node.js in http://nodejs.org/download in linux
and write code
$ tar -zxf node-v0.12.4.tar.gz
$ cd node-v0.12.4
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
and success

@rao-krish sorry, I can't reproduce.
Could you provide more details? OS version, Visual Studio version, how did you obtain the code?

@rao-krish this is an annoying but a non critical error. The build process tried to build the C++ test harness
cctestonly after it finishes buildingnode.dll. I think if you look in/Release/you'll find a completednode.dll.Anyway we currently have no harness for testing
node.dll, so the following steps ofvcbuild.batare irrelevant.This could also might happen if by any chance you are reusing previous build products (from node@6.11.1 for example)...

Looks like this has been answered and OP hasn't commented since. Closing, reopen if that is a mistake.

@rao-krish I'm trying to reproduce locally. Meanwhile since the error you posted is
already definedI have a strong intuition that thenode.dllwill work.But be aware that electron/atom float patches over "vanilla" node: electron/node@8d426bb...electron

@bzoz following the above steps reproduces

@rao-krish all the errors I'm seeing (~225) are
multiple definition, which IMHO hints that all needed symbols are exported bynode.dll
