Hi, since I can't wait for the next release I decided to give it a try to compile it myself. I keep running into bugs:
Either during the first step, where something is off with the mozjs part.
Or if I use system mozjs, I run into some JS converting error.
If you have an idea, I would appreciate it. Don't sweat it though - I am also doing this since I am not patient enough to wait for the release. I will survive it if I have to wait until then
My machine is running Fedora 36, here are the steps I did (dependencies installed as far as I can tell):
> git clone https://gitlab.com/0ad/0ad.git --depth=50
> cd 0ad/build/workspaces
> ./update-workspaces.sh -j3
The error I run into is:
/home/liquidat/gits/gitlab/0ad/libraries/source/spidermonkey/mozjs-78.6.0/js/src/util/TrailingArray.h:73:41: internal compiler error: unexpected expression ‘ElemSize’ of kind template_parm_index
73 | MOZ_ASSERT((end - start) % ElemSize == 0);
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~
So I decided to premake with system version of mozjs (78.15.0):
> ./update-workspaces.sh -j3 --with-system-mozjs
That went through . But compile failed:
> cd gcc
> make -j3

If you are a package maintainer, please make sure to check very carefully that this version does not change the behaviour of the code executed by SpiderMonkey. Different parts of the game (e.g. the multiplayer mode) rely on deterministic behaviour of the JavaScript engine. A simple way for testing this would be playing a network game with one player using the old version and one player using the new version. Another way for testing is running replays and comparing the final hash (check trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/Debugging#Replaymode).

So in ../../../source/scriptinterface/ScriptTypes.h I removed the warning for the sub-version and tried again, but run into another error:
ScriptConversions.cpp
../../../source/scriptinterface/ScriptContext.cpp: In member function ‘void ScriptContext::UnRegisterRealm(JS::Realm*)’:

I found an existing thread discussing a similar error. But according to that, their error was fixed in SpiderMonkey 78.7, and my version is much newer.
