I need to build SpiderMonkey so that I can use it with emscripten. I succeeded in building version 1.8 (using the hack from here: http://pmelson.blogspot.fr/2007/12/building-didier-stevens-spidermonkey-in.html). But unfortunately version 1.8 lacks JSON support and apparently that came into existance with version 1.8.1.
Unfortunately I don't see any 1.8.1 tag/branch in CVS and I cannot use version 1.8.5 because the above hack no longer works with that version.
Any ideas for getting this to work in Cygwin?
You can use the following guide for building Spidermonkey in Cygwin.
SpiderMonkey Build Documentation
Windows build prerequisites
I have used the instructions to build the 1.8.5 version and it worked fine.

I am trying to run the quickstart example found here
I am able to follow the instructions all the way through 3.1.4 where bjam is invoked but the tests all fail despite that is IS successfully finding python.
I am on Ubuntu 16.04
boost version 1.66.0
Python 3.5
gcc 5.4.0
bjam 2014.03
Any hints as to what the problem is would be greatly appreciated!
Update: #sehe was correct. It was using python2.7 instead of 3.5.
I don't mean the version(s) provided by the various distributions but the binary from the official website.
I have an old VM running 32bit OpenSUSE 12.1 that is configured for a project I'm working on at work. I need to install WebKitGTK. The problem is that the cmake in the repositories is ancient 2.x, while WebKitGTK at least 3.6 (or similar). So I went to the official website and (my fault) without looking too much into it downloaded the 3.10 installation for Linux.
Upon executing the binary that was installed I got the error that the file could not be run. I checked the execution rights and it was fine. Then it struck me...I ran file cmake and got 64 instead of the required 32bit.
I went back to the website and all I could find were 32bit versions for Windows but none for Linux.
I can build it from source but just out of curiousity would like to know if support has been dropped. I was unable to find any information so far.
32-bit support for CMake hasn't been dropped. They just don't provide binaries for it on their website as of CMake 3.7.0
I'm running the latest Ubuntu (14.04) and have just downloaded the Node.js tarball. I'm not very familiar with Python though, and although I love Ubuntu, I'm also not familiar with the process of downloading and installing stuff on Linux as well :/
It says on the Node.js download page that Python 2.6 or 2.7 is required, but I have found that newer versions of Python are available. Will a newer version of Python build it correctly?
If you're not familiar with Linux then I don't think you want to compile node.js yourself from source. You can still use the binaries.tar.gz
There are Ubuntu packages that will install node.js for you! Installing from a package manager is easier, try https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/installing-node.js-via-package-manager#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions
As for building from source, there are known issues with Python 3, ref https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/installation#known-issues, so maybe stick with 2.6 or 2.7
Python versions starting with and including 2.6 up through before 3.0 should work fine. Python 3 brought some backwards incompatible changes with Python 2.x and AFAIK gyp has not been updated to support Python 3 yet.
I have a software that depends on pyQt (it's TortoiseHG and it doesn't support pyside). Is it possible to build pyQt on latest OSX version with latest Qt? I have downloaded pyQt from official website (http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk) but it fails on first, configuration step with "i386 architecture" link error.
MacPorts has numerous PyQT builds (including version 4.9.1 at time of writing) so it appears to be possible.
If just getting it via MacPorts (recommended) isn't an option, you can examine their portfile to see how they're configuring and building it, and then do the same locally.
I have tried installing Groovy plugin via STS's dashboard install feature in both 2.7 (the version I downloaded initially which was the latest version at the time). My colleague recommended downloading 2.5.2, the version he is using, so I did; however the Groovy plugin installer still fails. It starts with:
Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.
Software being installed: Groovy-Eclipse Feature 2.5.2.xx-20110808-1400-e36 (org.codehaus.groovy.eclipse.feature.feature.group 2.5.2.xx-20110808-1400-e36)
Windows 7 64B
groovy v 1.8.2
grails v 1.3.7
jvm 1.6.0_26
Greatly appreciate any hints/recommendations/ideas. THANK YOU!
Make sure that your STS install is in a directory where the current user has write permissions. Also, there is a problem with installing into the Program Files directory (it is not really writable, even if you think it is).
The reason for this problem is the feature patch that comes with Groovy-Eclipse must be installed into the same directory as the rest of STS (an Eclipse limitation). This patch is the thing that patches the jdt compiler so that it can also compile groovy code.
