Hi all,

I don't succeed to build spidermonkey-1.8.5-2 because always I get a final make error:

make: *** [config/rules.mk:754; default] Error 2

Since spidermonkey is a dependence of polkit, I can't install polkit, and other packages. I googled nearly everything I found, and I understood that the problem is well known and spidermonkey code requests a special preconfiguration before trying to build it. Anyhow, I didn't succeed to find a simple resolutive suggestion. What could I do?

Many thanks to whom will be so kind to help me.

There is enough of the compile to tell what caused the error. If compiling with prt-get, add "writelog enabled" to /etc/prt-get.conf. If compiling with pkgmk I use pkgmk 2>&1 | tee /var/tmp/<port>.log to get a listing. Search backward in the .log for error: for more information. Or paste the log somewhere and post the link and someone might assist finding the error. -Daryl
