I suppose we could ask him.
Firefox is a giant monolithic repo containing a complete web browser. We only want the Javascript engine in it. If we don't care the download size, we can use the giant Firefox ESR tarball: https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-esr60/archive/FIREFOX_60_6_3esr_RELEASE.tar.bz2 To build mozjs: tar -xf FIREFOX_60_6_3esr_RELEASE.tar.bz2 cd mozilla-esr60-FIREFOX_60_6_3esr_RELEASE sed '/divert/d' js/src/configure.in > js/src/configure chmod +x js/src/configure Then follow the BLFS book. -- Xi Ruoyao <xry...@mengyan1223.wang> School of Aerospace Science and Technology, Xidian University -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
