Linking Error

Jon,

If you're still hitting this error, it looks like you need to be using 'gcc' as a linker, instead of 'ld'. It links in libgcc when building the shared object, which should solve this problem.

Hi Perry,

I was able to get it to build in the following way (although I am not sure this is correct). I noticed in my /usr/local/lib directory where CouchDB looks for spidermonkey libraries there was a static library libjs.a and a dynamic library libjs.so. I simply moved the dynamic library out of the way and it finished the build.

I did notice some calls to git in the build. I don't have git on that machine. Do I need it for the build? The build did complete without any fatal errors.

However, now when I run CouchBase, it crashes with the following:

Any thoughts on that?

There should be some more error messages above that...something with "error" or "crash"?

Hi Perry,

The full output is below.

I tried to use the gcc linker instead of ld by replacing LD=/usr/bin/ld with LD=/usr/bin/gcc in the Makefiles.
However, it seems ld was picked up somewhere else. Do you happen to know if there is some other change I need to make.

Anyway, here is the output when running after linking with the static libraries:

This really answered my problem, thank you!
