Description

Would it be possible to port th libv8 package, to allow installation of the v8 JavaScript library?

Ideally i would like to get the latest v8 compiled into a static library for use in an Android app, but it wont work for me

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the Termux package build system and understand how to port a library like v8. Look at existing package recipes for similar large libraries. Check if v8 can be built with Android NDK. Provide a step by step plan for adding the package.
