Nayana-ibm opened a new issue #1316: Couchdb build issue with Ubuntu 18.04
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1316
 
 
   ## Environment
   * Version used: 2.1.1
   * Operating System and version (desktop or mobile): Ubuntu 18.04
   
   Trying to build Couchdb v2.1.1 from source on Ubuntu 18.04. 
   Followed the steps provided in  http://docs.couchdb.org/en/2.1.1/install/unix.html#installation-from-source
   
   One of the dependency to build couchdb is libmozjs185 which is not found on Ub18.04. So tried to build it from source  using steps:
   ```
   wget http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/js/js185-1.0.0.tar.gz
   tar zxf js185-1.0.0.tar.gz 
   cd js-1.8.5/js/src
   autoconf2.13
   mkdir -p build_OPT.OBJ
   cd build_OPT.OBJ
   ../configure --prefix=/usr
    make
   ```
   However, make is failing with 
   ```
   ../jsapi.cpp: In function 'JSIdArray* JS_Enumerate(JSContext*, JSObject*)':
   ../jsapi.cpp:3988:16: error: cannot convert 'bool' to 'JSIdArray*' in return
            return false;
                   ^~~~~
   ../config/rules.mk:1475: recipe for target 'jsapi.o' failed
   
   ```
   Any suggestions on how to resolve the failure?
