Hi Marc,

you can obtain spidermonkey from our repository:

hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/tracemonkey

That clones the entire firefox tree.

And then

autoconf213

and

autoconf213 in js/src

then

cd js/src

mkdir debug-build cd debug-build ../configure --enable-debug --disable-optimize make

That builds "js", the JS engine shell.

To get an optimzied build, just do

mkdir opt-build cd opt-build ../configure --disable-debug --enable-optimize make

Build prerequisites are listed here:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/build_documentation

Let me know if you have any problems building the engine.

Hello Andreas. Can you describe the steps to get and build spider monkey? I've been Googling around and the latest version I can find (1.8.0-rc1) is more than a year old.

Andreas, I haven't heard from you in a while. I hope everything is going OK.

Do you think you can help me with getting spider monkey to build on my Mac?
