erlang_js doesn't build on darwin11

[krestenkrab]

My machine reports this:

Darwin dhcp-218.dyn81-121.trifork.com 11.4.0 
Darwin Kernel Version 11.4.0: Mon Apr  9 19:32:15 PDT 2012; 
root:xnu 1699.26.8~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

During configure, I get

checking host system type... i386-apple-darwin11.4.0

Which is not a platform being matched in current rebar.config

Compiling fails with some header file isses.

I tried to upgrade to nspr-4.9.1 (erlang_js is currently using 4.8), and it seems to compile just fine.

Hi Kresten,

A fresh checkout of erlang_js builds ok for me on the same platform, with Erlang R14B04/R15B01 What version of gcc are you using?

My uname -a:

Darwin luna.dizzynet 11.4.0 Darwin Kernel Version 11.4.0: Mon Apr 9 19:32:15 PDT 2012; root:xnu-1699.26.8~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

My gcc -v:

Hmm, my gcc says [see below] slightly older version than yours it seems ...

So... How to fix it?

[dizzyd]

Random idea that occurred to me -- are you using the rebar that's part of the erlang_js distribution or a different version?

[cmeiklejohn]

I've updated the rebar that's distributed with erlang_js to now honor the platform specific strings and apply the correct build flags. I'm going to close this for now, as I imagine most of us no longer have the platform to confirm the fix, but feel free to reopen if this is still an issue.
