This is because of ChakraCore's CMake build system. I had started for ChakraCore gyp build for node-chakracore only. However, currently this is not a high priority item. If anyone could contribute ChakraCore gyp build, that would be epic!

[bnoordhuis]

Before someone spends much time on that: I'm porting node's build system to cmake (tree).

[obastemur]

@bnoordhuis sounds great. Any estimate? remaining items I can contribute?

@digitalinfinity time to consider fixing ChakraCore cmake build for Windows ?

[digitalinfinity]

@obastemur perhaps 😄 - @bnoordhuis presumably the intention is to use cmake on both Windows and Linux?

[bnoordhuis]

@digitalinfinity @obastemur Correct, all platforms. I'm aiming for node 9, possibly with cmake and GYP side by side until node 10.

@obastemur I could use help making it work on Windows. My branch is still in flux but any feedback is welcome.

[lukaskollmer]

Any updates on this?

[obastemur]

@lukaskollmer Although this could be done by applying some switches into build scripts, I'm not sure the priority or how ugly it could be.

What I do is; create two xcode projects (ChakraCore build.sh script supports --xcode arg too!) and combine them manually under xcode.
