---------------------------------------
Summary: 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
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.
