Now comes the tricky part of the installation. After the installation of ICU, the next dependency is the Mozilla JS Engine SpiderMonkey.

I couldn’t manage to install the current 1.8.5 release of SpiderMonkey on OpenSolaris and had to fallback to 1.7.0. Thankfully CouchDB only requires 1.7.0 or up.

Basics

Perparations

SpiderMonkey has no install script for OpenSolaris. Therefore we need to use the default Solaris script with minor modifications.

root@test:/tmp# cd js/src/config
root@test:/tmp/js/src/config# ln -s SunOS5.5.mk SunOS5.11_i86pc.mk
root@test:/tmp/js/src# cd ..
root@test:/tmp/js/src# mv config.mk config.mk.bak
root@test:/tmp/js/src# sed 's|NS_USE_NATIVE = 1|#NS_USE_NATIVE = 1|g' config.mk.bak > config.mk
root@test:/tmp/js/src# rm lock_SunOS.s
root@test:/tmp/js/src# PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/gcc/4.3/bin:$PATH

Building

The building-process should work flawless with the modified config.

root@test:/tmp/js/src# gmake -f Makefile.ref
cat: cannot open ../../dist/SunOS5.11_i86pc_DBG.OBJ/nspr/Version: No such file or directory
cd editline; gmake -f Makefile.ref all
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/js/src/editline'
gcc -o SunOS5.11_i86pc_DBG.OBJ/editline.o -c -Wall -Wno-format -DXP_UNIX -g -DXP_UNIX -DSVR4 -DSYSV -DSOLARIS -DHAVE_LOCALTIME_R  -DDEBUG -DDEBUG_  -DJSFILE  -DANSI_ARROWS -DHAVE_TCGETATTR -DHIDE -DUSE_DIRENT -DSYS_UNIX -DHAVE_STDLIB -DUNIQUE_HISTORY editline.c
...

root@test:/tmp/js/src# JS_DIST=/opt/local gmake -f Makefile.ref export
cat: cannot open ../../dist/SunOS5.11_i86pc_DBG.OBJ/nspr/Version: No such file or directory
cd editline; gmake -f Makefile.ref export
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/js/src/editline'
gmake[1]: Nothing to be done for `export'.

Next steps

After installing SpiderMonkey, we can finally install CouchDB:
