Spider Monkey Libraries

For windows, we pass the following parameters to ./configure command
--with-js-lib=/cygdrive/c/spidermonkey-3.7a3-winnt6.1/dist/bin
--with-js-include=/cygdrive/c/spidermonkey-3.7a3-winnt6.1/dist/include
Where we put compiled spidermonkey package under /cygdrive/c/spidermonkey-3.7a3-winnt6.1/dist

For other platforms, we pass those parameters as
--with-js-lib=/opt/couchbase/lib \
--with-js-include=/opt/couchbase/include \
Where spidermonkey libraries are at lib and headers are at include directory.

You can do similar thing for your compiled spidermonkey libraries and header files.
You also can look at the config.log file under the couchdb directory to figure out exactly the reason why their spidermonkey libraries and header files are not found.

Thanks. Are you supporting spidermonkey 1.8.5 or something lower.

I did fix the libraries problem but during the build I'm now hitting:

couch_js/main.c: In function 'execute_script':
couch_js/main.c:215: error: 'JSScript' undeclared (first use in this function)
couch_js/main.c:215: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
couch_js/main.c:215: error: for each function it appears in.)

I read on a previous thread http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.couchdb.user/14197
that this may be due to use of 1.8.5. I am currently trying 1.8 but with similar results.

Jon, seems like there might be a versioning problem here as the errors say we can't find some of the symbols expected in the include directory.

This is the library we use: git://github.com/membase/spidermonkey.git

Hi,

I did a clone of that repository and was unable to build on either x86 or Tile. Can you give me the exact syntax I need so I can insure I'm doing this correctly.

I was able to build spidermonkey 1.8 from the spidermonkey site.

Do you know whether CouchBase links dynamically or statically to the js libraries?

Hi Perry,

I am getting the following build error during the Couchbase 2.0 build. I built the spidermonkey libraries using the git repository you indicated. They are located in /usr/local/lib.

As per your other thread (http://www.couchbase.org/forums/thread/couchbase-startup) has this been resolved sufficiently?
