First, apply a patch to fix the build and to prevent segmentation faults. patch -Np1 -i ../js38-&JS38-version;-upstream_fixes-2.patch Install JS by running the following commands: cd js/src && autoconf2.13 && sed -i 's|\^\[:space:\]|^\[\[:space:\]\]|g' configure && ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --with-intl-api \ --with-system-zlib \ --with-system-ffi \ --with-system-nspr \ --with-system-icu \ --enable-threadsafe \ --enable-readline && make This package does not come with a working test suite. Now, as the root user: make install autoconf213: This command regenerates the configure script with the changes from the patch. sed -i ... configure: This command allows the configure script to function with sed 4.4. --with-*: These parameters allow the build system to use system versions of the above libriares. These are required for stability. --enable-readline: This switch enables Readline support in the JS shell. --enable-threadsafe: This switch enables support for multiple threads at one time. This increases performance as well as stability.
