It isn't quite standalone, as it uses headers private to mozjs, some of which are autogenerated. I can't seem to get it to build without building the whole libmozjs. On Debian, the libmozjs source is intertwined with the source for iceweasel, which is basically their rebranded firefox. So in order to build the js shell, I have to build a whole web browser! Or at the very least, I need to get through its ./configure phase. Unfortunately, that's going to require installing a bunch of development packages for GUI libraries, and my VM disk image just doesn't have enough space for that. They do package the JS shell, and it works fine, but it is statically linked against Spidermonkey. IMHO, that isn't a good test of whether the dynamic libmozjs library is working properly. A better question is this. Do they have any package that does link against the libmozjs dynamic library? Yes they do.

Can we conclude that their package doesn't have a bug and we're doing something wrong in JS initialization? -- Chris _______________________________________________ Edbrowse-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-brannons.com/mailman/listinfo/edbrowse-dev
