This one required more googling than expected so here's the transcript. Please note this is for 64 bit systems

sudo apt-get install build-essential lib32stdc++6 scons

python is a prerequisite as well, but it should already be on your system In theory the process should be as simple as

mkdir v8
svn checkout http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/trunk v8
cd v8
scons

But since I was trying to compile using "scons snapshot=on" While trying to compile I faced 2 error messages

cannot find -lstdc++

Which was solved by doing

sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so

And after I hit the error

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s

Which was solved by

sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib
