 Installing PyV8 in Kali for use with peepdf

 Kali 2016.1 rolling comes with peepdf 0.3, but it doesn't at present have PyV8 for javascript. peepdf may tell you this sad news. Here, we find out how to be happier.

 First, we solve some dependencies. v8 relies upon boost. The dependencies aren't packaged up nicely, so builds will fail. You can fix that with an apt-get of dev packages

 	apt-get install libboost-python-dev
 	apt-get install libboost-thread-dev

 Then we get v8 and PyV8 from old googlecode and put them in /usr/local/src

 	cd /usr/local/src
 	svn checkout http://pyv8.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ pyv8
 	svn checkout http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ v8

 Next we teach pyv8 how to find v8

 	export V8_HOME=/usr/local/src/v8
 	export PyV8=/usr/local/src/v8	# probably unnecessary

 Finally, we build and install. The build process will update v8, pyv8, and large prereqs (GYP) from googlecode

 	cd /usr/local/src/pyv8
 	python setup.py build
 	python setup.py install

 Run peepdf and see it find pyv8, to parse javascript


 Future work would involve redoing the PyV8 install so it uses the updated Google git version of v8 and ancillary parts. Start here: https://github.com/v8/v8/wiki and https://github.com/v8/v8/wiki/Using%20Git (don't just directly clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/v8/v8.git or http://github.com/v8/v8-git-mirror)
