1. Start with a clean checkout.
2. Run `./configure -c` to ensure you are enabling the curl interface for
couchjs. This is used primarily for testing, but will make the process easier.
You will need to ensure libcurl is installed along with its developer package
(i.e., include headers)
3. Edit the file `src/couch/rebar.config.script` and on line 74 change
`-I/usr/local/include` to `-I/usr/local/include -I/home/user/include/js`. On
the same line you'll have to change `-lmozjs185` to `-L/home/user/lib
-lmozjs185` if the `libmozsj185.so` library isn't installed under `/usr` as
well.
4. `make rel` should succeed.
In production it is common for CouchDB to not have to share a machine with
other processes that would conflict on the JS version, so it's most typical
that Spidermonkey 1.8.5 will be installed under /usr.
If you're feeling enterprising, a pull request to enhance our
`rebar.config.script` to support adding include/library paths from environment
variables would be most welcome. You can see we reference environment variables
down on lines 91 and 92; a similar trick for JS_CFLAGS/JS_LDFLAGS should work.
