I'm having a problem building the multichain

Question

after building V8 on the latest version (because the one mentioned in the docs is not building correctly)

I'm getting this error after running make

```
In file included from protocol/filter.cpp:7:0:
/v8/v8engine.h:8:10: fatal error: v8.h: No such file or directory
 #include <v8.h>

```

however, when reverting back to
https://github.com/MultiChain/multichain/commit/3420b7ec7c51201fc203a4a7f2878792964495ab
it worked

please investigate this issue

Answer 1

You will need to build the v8 version mentioned in the documentation. We're aware that some changes have recently been made to it, since the latest alpha was release, which stop the build working, so for now please revert to building v8 version 6.8.290.

i will test it on 6.8.290

but on v8 version 6.8-lkgr

```
ninja -C $RELEASE
```

is not completing

it also didn't work for the 6.8.290 version

I've asked the team about this and we'll get back to you.

This is a compilation issue that we've seen and appear to have resolved, look out for the instructions with the next release of 2.0.

Can confirm this is the same issue for me. Tried multiple variants of the 2.0 commits and none compile.
