Installing CouchDB from Source: Problem Installing SpiderMonkey1.8.5
Hi,
In installing CouchDB from source I am stuck at the installing
SpiderMonkey1.8.5 step. In order to run the ./configure command for couchdb
I must specify paths "--with-js-lib" and "--with-js-include" but failing to
install SpiderMonkey prevents me from doing so. I have tried to install
spidermonkey by doing following steps:
1) unpack js185-1.0.0.tar.gz and libmozjs185-devel-1.0.0-3.tar.bz2 packages
2) cd to js-1.8.5\js\src folder
3) run the command: ./configure
or: ./configure
--with-js-lib=/cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/omer.yousaf/src/js-1.8.5/js/src/usr/lib
--with-js-include=/cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/omer.yousaf/src/js-1.8.5/js/src/usr/include
I get the error "configure: error: installation or configuration problem:
C++ compiler cannot create executables".
Can you guide me as to how to get spidermonkey installed. Just FYI, I am
using this page for instructions on how to build couchdb from source
https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/master/INSTALL.Windows.
Best Regards,
Omer Yousaf

Sorry - I meant *building* on Windows rather than *installing* in the last
email.

If you're installing on Windows, then I recommend
https://github.com/dch/glazier. This documents the process we use to create
the Windows CouchDb distribution, so is reasonably up to date as several of
us follow it every time there is a release.

Hi Omar,
This is really a question for the SpiderMonkey list, though chances are
that fixing this problem will also mean your environment will be (better)
set up to build couchdb. As a caveat, I have limited experience with
cygwin, but I can still tell you what that error message means.
configure runs and determines if it can actual compile/generate executables
on your system. What that error message is telling you is that it can't,
which normally means:
1. a compiler is not installed
or
2. It can't find the compiler (it's not in your path, or perhaps the CC
environment variable is not getting automatically set)
Have a look at config.log to figure out which command was actually run and
failed. Without knowing this, I can only guess what the problem is, but I
would guess you may need to define CC directly:
./configure CC=/path/to/your/compiler
Cheers,
Mike
