[MapServer-users] FW: Unable to build mapserver 8 on WIndows with v8 support

[Jeff McKenna]

My answer still applies, for any version of MapServer.  Maybe you could 
add build tests to the MapServer repository, so that it shows your 
errors (and then V8 is tested for every commit automagically, against 
all platforms).

To summarize: it just needs a champion, like yourself, to get this 
moving again inside the MapServer core.
