Compiling the latest Edbrowse on Edgy

[benjaminhawkeslewis]

Can anyone work out how to compile the latest version of Edbrowse (3.1.3), a customization of Ed to create a complete audio desktop complete with JavaScript-enabled web browser, on Ubuntu Edgy? I installed the SpiderMonkey JavaScript library from source in /opt/edbrowse but I couldn't get Edbrowse itself to compile.

The Edbrowse homepage is at:

No matter what I do, I always get the same errors out of make:

I know you most likely want the 3.13 version but did you try the binary version of 2.2.10.

did it run?

do you have a gcc log of the source you tried to compile?

I didn't try the version in the repositories. It wouldn't be very enlightening since in version 2 the developer was trying to create his own JavaScript implementation and in version 3 he gave up and started using SpiderMonkey, and the compilation problems appear to be related to that library. When you say a "gcc log" do you mean you'd like to see the entire output of make rather than the fragment from the end that I provided?
