OK, i think i found the way to do this.

after downloading the source with hg i configure with autoconf-2.13

(make sure you have that version, and it’s name, it varies from system to system)

here are the commands i used:

hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/tracemonkey/
cd tracemonkey/js/src
autoconf-2.13
make

apparently building is not that simple, anymore.

this:
make -f Makefile.ref BUILD_OPT=1

does not work anymore.

and, it’s not that simple anyway, we have to install loads of stuff before we can build, and use mercurial (hg)

i really wish it was easier.

i’m on mac os x, but i suppose that only the last line in your example should be different, right ?

Nice! Keep an eye on the tracemonkey stuff. It’s likely to be in flux for some time to come.

That’s exactly what we’re doing with reasonably smart. We’ve integrated tracemonkey in development now, but we’ve not turned it on in production yet, but this will probably change soon.

As soon as I get a clean build in production tracemonkey is a go.
