setting up dev environment "ERROR: SpiderMonkey build failed"

Hi all, first post, brand new here, 

love the game, feel I could contribute, also get some code experience here,

I use vanilla ubuntu 18.10 (consider it a 18.04.01, it's indistinguishable)

So I've been trying to set up a dev environment for 0AD, I've been following this guide https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/BuildInstructions

here's what I've done so far (terminal commands) :

#(1) :
sudo apt install subversion build-essential libboost-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libenet-dev libgloox-dev libicu-dev libminiupnpc-dev libnspr4-dev libnvtt-dev libogg-dev libopenal-dev libpng-dev libsdl2-dev libvorbis-dev libwxgtk3.0-dev libxcursor-dev libxml2-dev  zlib1g-dev libsodium-dev

# python comes with ubuntu but is not part of PATH by default so I set that up thusly : 
#(2) :
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3.6m /usr/bin/python

#(3) :
sudo gedit /etc/environment

# added :/usr/bin/python to the end of PATH and after a reboot typing "python" into terminal correctly opens up a python3.6m shell
# also the later update-workspaces script no longer fails with "python was not found in $PATH"

#(4) :
source /etc/environment

#(5) :
svn co https://svn.wildfiregames.com/public/ps/trunk/ 0ad

#(6) :
cd 0ad/build/workspaces/

#(7) :
./update-workspaces.sh --with-system-nvtt

this outputs :
./update-workspaces.sh --with-system-nvtt

Creating Python environment
Python 2.7.3 or greater (but not Python 3) is required to build. You are running Python 3.6.7.
Run |mach bootstrap| to ensure your system is up to date.

If you still receive this error, your shell environment is likely detecting
another Python version. Ensure a modern Python can be found in the paths
defined by the $PATH environment variable and try again.

ERROR: SpiderMonkey build failed

so I get  ERROR: SpiderMonkey build failed, why is that and how do I fix it?

 

thanks in advance for any help :)

woops I didn't see that error in the middle., guess it only wants 2.7

I suggest that the guide be edited for clarity, for one python 2.7 should be listed as a dependency, added to the packages to be installed (ubuntu 18 is with python3.6) and it should be specified that users should at least verify that python is being exposed one way or another (2.7 or a generic python link which points to both 2.7 and 3.6) in the environment $PATH variable.

also no mention of cd'ing to 

0ad/build/workspaces/

lastly,

./update-workspaces.sh --with-system-nvtt

is up way too high,

way before you've finished installing the necessary packages.

also 

-j3

is only mentioned way after, it should be included straight away, like so :

./update-workspaces.sh -j3 --with-system-nvtt

 

 

is editing the build instructions part of what community members can do?
