This package can be installed without problems, if you have installed JS-17.0.0. It is necessary to set SHELL=/bin/bash if you are working in chroot.
Install JS by running the following commands:
cd js/src &&
sed -i 's/(defined\((@TEMPLATE_FILE)\))/\1/' config/milestone.pl &&
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--enable-readline \
--enable-threadsafe \
--with-system-ffi \
--with-system-nspr &&
make
To test the results, issue: make check.
Now, as the root user:
make install &&
find /usr/include/mozjs-24/ \
/usr/lib/libmozjs-24.a \
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/mozjs-24.pc \
-type f -exec chmod -v 644 {} \;
sed ... config/milestone.pl: Fix an issue caused by perl-5.22.0 and later.
--enable-threadsafe: This
switch enables support for multiple threads.
--enable-readline: This
switch enables Readline support in
JS shell.
--with-system-ffi: This
switch forces the package to link to the system version of
libffi instead of using its
included, and now old, version.
--with-system-nspr: This
switch forces the package to link to the system version of
NSPR instead of using its
included, and now old, version.
