[Linux] spidermonkey linker error

[ThyMYthOS]

The BuildInstructions page on the wiki say's one should download spidermonkey directly from mozilla. This is not necessary anymore with the latest SVN, right?

I went to libraries/spidermonkey/src and executed the build.sh script. Anything more to do here?

Finally when building the application I get the following linker errors:

I have the same issue. It seems that there are some link info missing with the included spidermonkey. Has anyone found a solution? Is it possible to pass options to the compiler, like with a configure script ?

[Ykkrosh]

Hmm, the build.sh doesn't work for me at all (I get "ld: unrecognized option '-Wl,-R/usr/lib/nspr'", because "nspr-config --libs" says "-Wl,-R/usr/lib/nspr -L/usr/lib/nspr -lplds4 -lplc4 -lnspr4 -lpthread -ldl"). So I guess the bundled SpiderMonkey should be considered experimental, i.e. probably broken

Those PR_* errors come from failing to link correctly with nspr. What output do you get when running "nspr-config --cflags" and "nspr-config --libs"?

[zeb]

Thanks a lot. Spidermonkey compiles on my machine. These are the outputs you requested:

[eric@shuttle gcc]$ nspr-config --cflags

-I/usr/include/nspr

[eric@shuttle gcc]$ nspr-config --libs

-L/usr/lib -lplds4 -lplc4 -lnspr4 -lpthread -ldl
