Installing CouchDB 2.0 and SpiderMonkey 1.8.5 from source

[Aurélien Bénel]

Hi everyone,

I usually use packaged versions of CouchDB, but in order to help a friend of 
mine, I tried to install it from source (master HEAD) on CentOS 6.5  (the same 
distro as his).

For most of the dependencies, it was OK with `yum` (the packet manager).

But, on this distribution, `js-devel` was only at 1.7. So I tried to install 
SpiderMonkey 1.8.5 from source. I think it worked:

    $ js-config --includedir --libdir
    /usr/local/include
    /usr/local/lib

    $ ls /usr/local/include/js
    [...]
    jsapi.h
    [...]

    $] ls /usr/local/lib
    libmozjs185-1.0.a  
    libmozjs185.so    
    libmozjs185.so.1.0   
    libmozjs185.so.1.0.0 
    pkgconfig

Then I tried to `configure` CouchDB:  

    ==> configuring couchdb in rel/couchdb.config
    ==> updating dependencies
    ==> b64url (get-deps)
    [...]
    Updating lager from 
{git,"https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/couchdb-lager.git";,
                         {branch,"master"}}
    [...]
    ==> fauxton (update-deps)

This doesn't look really look like the output of a `configure` script, but it 
seems to reach the end with no error.

Then, I try to `make` it and problems pop out:

    ==> b64url (compile)
    ==> cassim (compile)
    ==> lager (compile)
    ==> couch_log (compile)
    ==> config (compile)     
    ==> chttpd (compile)
    ==> couch (compile)
     Compiling /home/staff/couchdb/src/couch/priv/couch_js/main.c
     /home/staff/couchdb/src/couch/priv/couch_js/main.c:17:19: erreur: jsapi.h

     priv/couch_js/util.h:23: erreur: expected specifier-qualifier-list before

Any idea of what went wrong?
