Chrome V8 errors

I'm trying to build the Chrome V8 javascript engine so I can embed it into my c++ project. I'm following the tutorial here. I downloaded everything that was needed and managed to get the project solution created but when I compile it only 5 of the 12 solutions get compiled correctly. Can someone shed some light on my problem? There doesn't seem to be much info on the web about it.

Some tricks I learned are this:

use the correct gyp command that will generate correct sln files. maybe target architecture argument was wrong or some other parameter you supply to gyp.

I do not know how to properly "clean" the source tree, so if I wanted new options to gyp I just delete the whole source tree and unpack from original archive. (or use svn).

Make sure you use python and cygwin supplied with v8 sources.

I used pc emulator (qemu) to install Windows XP + Visual studio and v8 sources+tools.

I tried various versions of Visual Studio only VS Express 2010 worked.

On linux everything is simpler. And you do not even need to build it, just use "aptitude install v8-dev"
