Russell Branca commented on COUCHDB-1640:
-----------------------------------------
I was able to pass all the make check tests and the browser tests on debian
squeeze with R14B04, but I had to create a new link for the libmoz .so file.
I compiled http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/js/js185-1.0.0.tar.gz and
noticed that while previous versions created a libjs.so file, the 1.8.5 version
creates files and links of the form libmozjs185.so*. So I did:
ln -s $JS_DIR/lib/libmozjs185.so.1.0.0 $JS_DIR/lib/libjs.so
and then ran configure with:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$JS_DIR/lib
./configure --prefix=/tmp/couchdb/install --with-js-lib=$JS_DIR/lib
--with-js-include=$JS_DIR/include
Without creating the link for libjs.so, make check errors out with:
cc1: warnings being treated as errors

> build instructions broken for Debian

> Key: COUCHDB-1640
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1640
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Build System
> Reporter: Miles Fidelman
> Assignee: Dave Cottlehuber
>
> The instructions for building 1.2.1, from source, on Debian Stable (Squeeze)
> are completely broken - both the INSTALL.Unix file in the distribution, and
> the wiki page at http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_Debian
> For one, the version of spidermonkey (libmozjs) is older than the minimum
> required for Couch 1.2.1.
> For two, even after installing the latest spidermonkey from upstream, I can't
> get more than half the developer tests to complete after an install. I
> expect it has to do with path issues and the proper invocation of ./configure
> - but I can't figure out what the magic incantation is.
> I kind of wonder if anybody has actually tried a full install on Debian
> Stable.
