Elinks fails to build with the JS support (mozjs-52).

SpacingBat3 commented 3 years ago

Device information:

OS Platform: linux
Architecture: aarch64
Distribution: Manjaro ARM (Arch Linux ARM)

Expected behavior:

Elinks would build fine, with JavaScript support.

Current behavior:

It will fail to build with mozjs-52 headers, as they're correct only for C++ code (not for C).

Fails on:

How do you try to compile? Commands, please.

How do you try to compile? Commands, please.

I used the following PKGBUILD for the compilation proccess. As for the commands, I've tried to compile the 0.14.0 version, actually I might try to compile it again, except with the current master version.

The commands that this PKGBUILD executes to compile it (and also to "install" it) are as follows:

cd <path-to-eslint-sources>
cp -fT /usr/share/autoconf/build-aux/config.sub config/config.sub
cp -fT /usr/share/autoconf/build-aux/config.guess config/config.guess
cp -fT /usr/share/autoconf/build-aux/install-sh config/install.sh
[ -x configure ] || sh autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man \
              --sysconfdir=/etc \
              --disable-smb --without-x --enable-cgi \
              --enable-leds --enable-256-colors --enable-html-highlight \
              --with-zlib
make
make DESTDIR=<tarball-dir> install
rm -f "<tarball-dir>/usr/share/locale/locale.alias"

Just checked the master, I see JavaScript is currently disabled...

I guess I'll close this issue then...
