Hi all,
I am new to building Spidermonkey. Following the steps in the site below allowed me to compile it successfully.
https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/js/build.html
However, how do i determine what version was compiled? Moreover, how do I specify which version to compile?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
J
Hi!
It depends on where you got the source code. If it’s the mozilla-central or mozilla-unified Mercurial repository, your SM version likely corresponds to Firefox Nightly (currently version 106, soon 107).
You can use ./mach run -- --help | grep Version to see the version number. For the Nightly branch I currently get this:
$ ./mach run -- --help | grep Version
Version: JavaScript-C106.0a1
I hope this helps.
Hello jandem,
Thank you. This helped a lot.
I was able to build the version of Spidermonkey I needed and determined that it is the correct version.

Did you ever figure out how to build a different version, though? I’m currently trying to determine those steps so that I can try to build something older than v63.
