Paul Joseph Davis commented on COUCHDB-562:
-------------------------------------------
I don't think we should ever drop the --with vars because then making use of
non-standard installs of spidermonkey goes back to crazy town. I think the
situation we have now of using pkg-config if its available, overriding it all
with --with* and using a promiscuous search as a last resort is the best
solution.
How is it not a build dependency? Everyone building couchdb has to ./configure
it, which is what depends on pkg-config unless I'm mistaken?
Although, we should update the instructions around --with to indicate that
commonly on linux distributions (and whoever else) will generally as of
recently automagically find the js libraries even though they're in weirdo
places. But we should word it better than that.

> If you build the couchdb from the source with a prefix set and
> --with-js-[lib|include] option the resulting couchjs programm in
> <prefix>/lib/couchdb/bin/couchjs does not know where to find the specified
> libmozjs.so which was specified in with-js-lib. This causes that quite all
> test will fail.
> To fix this the rpath has to setup during the compile. I don't had a look
> where to do this.
