compiling on Ubuntu - missing spidermonkey jsapi headers
we had to remove the conflicting ubuntu version 0.10 but now we're
getting the spidermonkey jsapi header missing error
we tried: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2.10/libmozjs.so
/usr/lib/libmozjs.so
but still getting the error -
a) is there some other fix or or do we have conflicting syntax
b) if we're using node with v8 installed - do we even need spidermonkey
headers ?

just had to go back to the couchdb src directory - sudo compiled it from
there and it compiled okay - after symlinking the init.d file, finally
it's running!
thks guys for all the help - I will be putting this together in a write
up suitable for the wiki to save others time. Of course in a month
we'll have 10.10 so who knows.

Make sure you are switch-usering to the right user. My user and groups
are both couchdb (set with chown and chgrp).

Re: compiling on Ubuntu - missing spidermonkey jsapi headers
Posted by afters <af...@gmail.com>.
Hi Miles,
You could try following example 2 in the wiki (
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_Ubuntu#Example_2_.28with_minimal_dependencies.29),
which builds spidermonkey from source and does not rely on xulrunner. It
worked for me.

the above configure does not work - still failing on not finding js api
we dug into the configure file => sent us to the make file
JSLIB = -lmozjs
JS_LIB_BASE = mozjs
JS_LIB_BINARY =
does this look right ? I'm not sure about what mozjs is and if the
lib_binary should be blank
re Mozilla + Ubuntu issues - yeah, understand.
wondering if there is a good way to hack in hard coded necessary

Re: compiling on Ubuntu - missing spidermonkey jsapi headers
Posted by Randall Leeds <ra...@gmail.com>.
It looks like
./configure --with-js-include=/usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-1.9.2.10/include
--with-js-lib=/usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-1.9.2.10/lib
should work fine for you. At least it should get you past the
configuration stage.
If at all possible I would get into #couchdb on freenode for some more
realtime assistance if you're still stuck.
Sorry this has been a frustrating process for you. It's a combination
of a number of factors including Mozilla's stance on shipping
spidermonkey on a product (i.e. don't, it's part of xulrunner only),
Ubuntu's policy on linkage and ABI (can't make spidermonkey linkable
by default because they won't guarantee any version compatibility),
the libmozjs -> xulrunner-devel packaging change, etc.
I think I can confidently speak for the list, though, when I say we're
happy to work through this with you.
Once you get it sorted out if you find anything amiss in the wiki page
you should save the next person from experiencing the same pain and
update the page with what you've learned. That'd be really great.
Regards,
Randall

You never responded to the query:
Does:
ls /usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-1.9.2.10/include
show anything?
Your error is that configure can't find the headers, yet you're
focusing on symlinking the library so ld can find it.
You appear to have used a ./configure command using --with-js-include
which is the correct method for this situation, the question is just
if you're pointing it at the right place.
Recently I think a common error is that Ubuntu has upgraded the
xulrunner version which broke scripts for various people.

Re: compiling on Ubuntu - missing spidermonkey jsapi headers

The wiki page linked by Michael has all the info you should need. Try
reading and understanding the steps for Ubuntu there. If any of it confuses
you please ask. Pay particular attention to the configure options that
specify where SpiderMonkey (xulrunner-dev) is installed.
