[jira] Created: (COUCHDB-47) Building CouchDB against Spidermonkey
source
Building CouchDB against Spidermonkey source
--------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-47
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-47
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Build System
Environment: OSX Leopard, Spidermonkey 1.7, Erlang 5.6, CouchDB r650729
Reporter: Robert Rees
When trying to build against my source distribution of Spidermonkey the build script acknowledges the existence of libjs but gives an error message that the header files (jsapi.h) is not present. This seems to be due to an error in the test file the build script constructs to test the include of the header file.

------------------------------------
Please follow the first few steps from here:
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Troubleshooting
If it still doesn't work can you:
* provide details about what flags you are using
* provide the a listing of directory contents of the directories you are passing to configure
* attach the full output of running ./configure
* attach the full config.log file

Ignoring my local stuff the jsautocfg.h is under the Darwin_DBG.OBJ directory not under js/src. Both directories need to be -I on the cc line.

------------------------------------
It shouldn't matter where you install them, /usr/local is not special in any way. Have you tried using the --with-js-include option as well, you will need it to get the header files included.

[jira] Updated: (COUCHDB-47) --with-js-lib configure flag does not
work

Robert Rees updated COUCHDB-47:
-------------------------------
Summary: --with-js-lib configure flag does not work (was: Building CouchDB against Spidermonkey source)
Realised the original title gave the wrong idea about the bug. The issue is not that you can't build on OSX but that the configure flag is not working properly.

Robert Rees commented on COUCHDB-47:
------------------------------------
Yeah I'll try and explain a bit better and provide a hacky fix that might explain better than just words! I have built Spidermonkey using the default instructions and the during the build the jsautocfg.h is created in the target (DARWIN_DBG.OBJ). I imagine that during the install process for Spidermonkey the headers from both source and target platform are placed in the same include directory, however by default the headers in both js/src/ and js/src/TARGET_PLATFORM need to be included.
So for example I have managed to fix the issue by changing the --with-js-lib case to the following:
# Check whether --with-js-lib was given.
if test "${with_js_lib+set}" = set; then
withval=$with_js_lib; JS_LIB_FLAGS="-L$withval"
JS_INCLUDE_FLAGS="$JS_INCLUDE_FLAGS -I$withval"
fi
Looking at it again I think the issue is that -with-js-include is probably meant to point at an installed Spidermonkey whereas I am building ICU, Spidermonkey and CouchDB side by side without ever installing any of them to /usr/local (or similar).
If this is the case then the bug could probably be resolved by documentation and I could just symbolically link jsautocfg.h to js/src to make this compilation step pass.

-----------------------------------------
I think this should be closed, we should be able to expect dependencies to be correctly installed, not only compiled.
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/InstallingSpiderMonkey contains (some) documentation on how to install SpiderMonkey from source.
