MongoDB uses SpiderMonkey for server-side Javascript execution. The mongod project requires a file js.lib when linking. This page details how to build js.lib. Note: V8 Javascript support is under development. Building js.lib - UnixDownloadcurl -O ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/js/js-1.7.0.tar.gz
tar zxvf js-1.7.0.tar.gz
Buildcd js/src
export CFLAGS="-DJS_C_STRINGS_ARE_UTF8"
make -f Makefile.ref
SpiderMonkey does not use UTF-8 by default, so we enable before building. An experimental SConstruct build file is available here. InstallJS_DIST=/usr make -f Makefile.ref export By default, the mongo scons project expects spidermonkey to be located at ../js/. Building js.lib - WindowsPrebuilt
Alternatively, follow the steps below to build yourself. DownloadFrom an msysgit or cygwin shell, run: curl -O ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/js/js-1.7.0.tar.gz
tar zxvf js-1.7.0.tar.gz
Buildcd js/src export CFLAGS="-DJS_C_STRINGS_ARE_UTF8"
make -f Makefile.ref
If cl.exe is not found, launch Tools...Visual Studio Command Prompt from inside Visual Studio -- your path should then be correct for make. If you do not have a suitable make utility installed, you may prefer to build using scons. An experimental SConstruct file to build the js.lib is available in the mongodb/snippets project. For example: cd
git clone git://github.com/mongodb/mongo-snippets.git
cp mongo-snippets/jslib-sconstruct js/src/SConstruct
cd js/src
scons
Troubleshooting sconsNote that scons does not use your PATH to find Visual Studio. If you get an error running cl.exe, try changing the following line in the msvc.py scons source file from: MVSdir = os.getenv('ProgramFiles') + r'\Microsoft Visual Studio 8'
to MVSdir = os.getenv('ProgramFiles') + r'\Microsoft Visual Studio ' + version
