Compiling MongoDB r2.0.2 on ubuntu 10.04 resulted in error

Question

I am compiling MongoDB from source with instructions from http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Building+for+Linux

I ran into this error after ran "scons all":

rty/js-1.7/jsscan.c
third_party/js-1.7/jsscan.c:112:22: error: jsautokw.h: No such file or directory
third_party/js-1.7/jsscan.c: In function 'FindKeyword':
third_party/js-1.7/jsscan.c:122: warning: label 'test_guess' defined but not used
third_party/js-1.7/jsscan.c:119: warning: label 'got_match' defined but not used
scons: *** [third_party/js-1.7/jsscan.o] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors

I am on a 64 bit ubuntu 10.04. gcc version 4.4.3 (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5), scons version is:

script: v1.2.0.d20100117.r4629, 2010/01/17 22:23:21, by scons on scons-dev
engine: v1.2.0.d20100117.r4629, 2010/01/17 22:23:21, by scons on scons-dev

Does anyone have the same problem? There are similar errors reported for this jsscan file in earlier versions, but has been fixed since.

Answer 1

Dude it worked! Do this:

sudo apt-get remove xulrunner-1.9.2-dev xulrunner-1.9.2
curl -O ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/js/js-1.7.0.tar.gz
tar zxvf js-1.7.0.tar.gz
cd js/src
export CFLAGS="-DJS_C_STRINGS_ARE_UTF8"
make -f Makefile.ref
sudo JS_DIST=/usr make -f Makefile.ref export

Then run scons all again
