People build jsc on its own on mac, but I have never been successful on linux. Hopefully there is some way though? I've been forced to build all of WebKit-gtk.

A bigger concern for me personally is that the jsc shell lacks typed arrays, https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119828

edit: i should have said 'full spec for typed arrays', see the linked issue



The typed arrays should be available in trunk, haves you checked recent trunk?

I believe the "need all of webkit-gtk" was a pile of sadness in build-jsc + automake that may have been fixed recently. I'm sure Zan, Xan, or Michel would be happy to help if it's still borked. There are _some_ platform requirements that make a generic "linux" not work, as we build on the platform support libraries for threads, unicode, etc so JSC may have random looking dependencies on such


Sorry if i wasn't clear, I tried trunk when I filed that issue, last week - typed arrays are there, but they are missing things like set() and subarray() (mentioned in the issue).

I am not even sure how to try to build jsc by itself on linux, i couldn't find any instructions (online or in the dir)? All online discussions i found said i need to build all of webkit.


Have you tried ToT trunk? We moved the entire TA impl into JSC itself last week and just accepted the semantic changes necessary for non-WebIDL types.

Tools/Scripts/build-jsc _should_ build just jsc.
