Spidermonkey Debug Build

cocos2d-x C++
1

Hey there,

I want to make a debug build of Spidermonkey to run in Android (it currently is precompiled as release).

I already downloaded the source code and I’m not really sure what to do next. My best bet was js\src\build-android\build.sh but Make doesn’t find a Makefile, and I know nothing about Make.

Oh, and I’m on Windows. I’m not sure if I have to download something else to make this work.

Any tips on what to do next? Thanks!

  1. make sure you have autoconf213 and run autoconf213 in js/src
  2. run …/cnfigure from js/src/build-android
  3. run build.sh

Thanks for answering!

I don’t know which autoconf I have in here but it was included with the download of the Cocos Spidermonkey version. It’s in folder “build/autoconf”. Or isn’t that it?

I think that’s the one.

Hey again, I still couldn’t build it in Windows.

I managed to run autoconf-2.13 and I had to modify build.sh because it wasn’t recognizing the correct path_os and path_arch I was on, and I also corrected some paths inside it.

Now my problem comes when it reaches /builtin/embedjs.py, which internally calls which.py. The shell script eventually sends a full, absolute path to which.py and this Python script is not returning me the same full path but instead giving me the error:

which.WhichError: Could not find 'c:/Absolute/Path/myfile' on the path.

Of course, myfile.exe does exist in that path. Actually, the files are from the NDK, e.g. c:/Android/android-ndk-r10e/toolchains/x86-4.8/prebuilt/windows-x86_64/bin/i686-linux-android-g++

I tried changing the absolute path to use “c:/”, “C:/” and “/c/” but none worked.

Any clues?
