| You need to build spidermonkey on your own. Here are quick instructions. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Building SpiderMonkey | ||
|
|
||
| First download mozilla-central (the repo that contains spidermonkey). If you have good internet, use the mecurial client, if not, you can download a roughly 100mb tarball of the latest revision at <http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central> | ||
|
|
||
| Once downloaded, go to the js folder and build spidermonkey as a static library | ||
|
|
||
| ```sh | ||
| cd $HOME/mozilla-central/js/src | ||
| autoconf2.13 | ||
| ./configure --disable-shared-js | ||
| make -j 4 # or however many cores you have | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ### Building | ||
|
|
||
| Once you have SpiderMonkey, link it in the deps folder of luvmonkey. | ||
|
|
||
| ```sh | ||
| cd $HOME/luvmonkey/deps | ||
| ln -s $HOME/mozilla-central | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| Then building luvmonkey is super easy. Simply go to the luvmonkey source tree and do the normal configure;make dance. (Requires python installed since we use gyp) | ||

| is required because we use gyp. | ||
|
|
||
| ```sh | ||
| cd $HOME/luvmonkey | ||
| ./configure | ||
| make -j4 # or however many cores you have | ||
| # Test it | ||
| ./out/Debug/luvmonkey test.js | ||
