Question

I want to install libmozjs185-dev in ubuntu 18.04, but I can not find commands for do it? Is there libmozjs185-dev for bionic?

Answer 1

libmozjs185-dev has been removed from the Ubuntu repositories, but you can still download the Debian package from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/+package/libmozjs185-dev. Note that libmozjs185-dev depends on libmozjs185-1.0, which can be downloaded from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/+package/libmozjs185-1.0.

wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/309343863/libmozjs185-1.0_1.8.5-1.0.0+dfsg-7_amd64.deb
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/309343864/libmozjs185-dev_1.8.5-1.0.0+dfsg-7_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libmozjs185-1.0_1.8.5-1.0.0+dfsg-7_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libmozjs185-dev_1.8.5-1.0.0+dfsg-7_amd64.deb

I tried this and it failed due to unmet dependencies in the latest ubuntu. I tried it like this instead:

wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/309343863/libmozjs185-1.0_1.8.5-1.0.0+dfsg-7_amd64.deb
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/309343864/libmozjs185-dev_1.8.5-1.0.0+dfsg-7_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg --force-depends -i libmozjs185-1.0_1.8.5-1.0.0+dfsg-7_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg --force-depends -i libmozjs185-dev_1.8.5-1.0.0+dfsg-7_amd64.deb

followed by

sudo apt --fix-broken install

And that fixed it.
