## Hey, does anyone know anything about ruby-spidermonkey? I just found it, and while the google site[1] has nothing but code, there seems to be more in Japanese [2]. I’m not clever enough to figure out how to get it working with SpiderMonkey

Here is the machine-translated README.

[http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://ruby-spidermonkey.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/README.ja.txt](http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://ruby-spidermonkey.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/README.ja.txt)

Ps. “The server-side JavaScript can be used as the color of happiness”  
 ← yes!

I just pulled the source from SVN, ran the following…

$ sed -i -e ‘s/smjs/js/g’ \*.c \*.rb

$ ruby extconf.rb  
checking for xulrunner-js… no  
checking for thunderbird-js… no  
checking for mozilla-js… no  
checking for main() in -ljs… yes  
creating Makefile

$ ruby test.rb  
“JavaScript-C 1.6 2006-11-19”  
Loaded suite test  
Started  
…“no WikiParser. test through”  
.  
Finished in 1.752299 seconds.

32 tests, 117 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors

HTH,
