First, I got sed: character class syntax is [[:space:]], not [:space:] configure: error: cannot determine icu version number from uvernum.h header file which I patched with --- js/src/configure.ORIG 2016-04-14 19:58:48.000000000 +0200 +++ js/src/configure 2017-02-28 12:48:38.511003635 +0100 @@ -15906,7 +15906,7 @@ fi fi - version=`sed -n 's/^[:space:]*#[[:space:]]*define[[:space:]][[:space:]]*U_ICU_VERSION_MAJOR_NUM[[:space:]][[:space:]]*\([0-9][0-9]*\)[[:space:]]*$/\1/p' "$icudir/common/unicode/uvernum.h"` + version=`sed -n 's/^[[:space:]]*#[[:space:]]*define[[:space:]][[:space:]]*U_ICU_VERSION_MAJOR_NUM[[:space:]][[:space:]]*\([0-9][0-9]*\)[[:space:]]*$/\1/p' "$icudir/common/unicode/uvernum.h"` if test x"$version" = x; then { echo "configure: error: cannot determine icu version number from uvernum.h header file $lineno" 1>&2; echo "configure: error: cannot determine icu version number from uvernum.h header file $lineno" 1>&5; exit 1; } fi Then installation failed with file collisions: * dev-lang/spidermonkey-1.8.5-r6:0::gentoo * /usr/bin/js * /usr/bin/js-config * /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/js.debug
The collisions I have fixed with a separate commit, while doing a lot of cleanups and attempting to address bug 611176. The sed issue has just been fixed as well via bug 611232. If there are any other issues with spidermonkey:38 please file a new bug, though if you run across these same issues again please reopen.
