Subject: [jira] [Commented] (COUCHDB-1640) build instructions broken for

Miles Fidelman commented on COUCHDB-1640:
-----------------------------------------

The Debian package for stable (squeeze) is ancient - it installs CouchDB 0.11.

I've installed libmozjs185-dev, from source, on stable, and then tried building the latest CouchDB from source. It builds, passes all but one make check (#200), installs and runs, but.... it fails 32 of the developer tests.  I expect it has to do with one of the magic configuration strings for ./configure - probably a bunch of the tests are not finding something, but.... kinda hard to tell.

> The instructions for building 1.2.1, from source, on Debian Stable (Squeeze) are completely broken - both the INSTALL.Unix file in the distribution, and the wiki page at http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_Debian
> For one, the version of spidermonkey (libmozjs) is older than the minimum required for Couch 1.2.1.
> For two, even after installing the latest spidermonkey from upstream, I can't get more than half the developer tests to complete after an install.  I expect it has to do with path issues and the proper invocation of ./configure - but I can't figure out what the magic incantation is.
> I kind of wonder if anybody has actually tried a full install on Debian Stable.
