This are the installation instructions for the SEE JavaScript engine on Debian GNU/Linux.

Install Prerequisites

• Download and install fossil. Alternatively:

sudo apt-get install fossil

• Debian packages:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

• The Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative garbage collector

Follow the instructions on the authors web page

Build with:

./configure --with-pic --enable-static

make install

Note: The libgc-dev Debian package is built without -fPIC and cannot be linked against our SEE build.

Download

• In a directory of your choice:

fossil clone https://at.magma-soft.at/fossil/see/ see.fossil

mkdir see

cd see

fossil open ../see.fossil

Install

Caution: Rebuilding the ./configure script on Debian GNU/Linux 10, x86_64 with libtool 2.4.6-9 creates a broken ./configure script.

• In the source directory:

./configure --with-pic

make install

Quicktest
